alredy closed up, so we have to wait for some years to see how this port will develop

very dry for a Malvedos, but with a very long aftertaste, very straight but a little bit light in comparison to 2003. I did quite like this port.

I can not say anthing to this port: it was just a wrong time point to open this and try to judge it.

this is one of the best young ports I ever tasted: very delicous with its violetts and a very long aftertaste. Hopefully this will be the final blend.

very nice smell on the cork, promissing. dark red color. +2 h: what is this? no nose, very acidic, but a fantastic body. This one needs a lot of time. +10 h: now it smells like very good port. Very nice fruit in the nose, smells too young for me. Very strong body with a long aftertaste. the fruit is...

Jacob, thank you very much for the fantastic organisation. For me, this was the first time that we did not have to discuss about smelly glasses or other smell sources in the RAF club. This tasting was just as enjoyable as the line-up was. So the portwines were just gorgeous and could be tasted with ...

Hello Axel,

just came back from India. I hope you booked a room for me too and only forget to mentioned it like we disussed before my vaccations. Thanks a lot.

Hi Axel, I am also not drinking any alcohol since the first week of january after heavy consumption of port and other spirits with Wolfgang (WS1), e.g. taking a New Years day walk with a bottle of Croft da Roeda 1980 as provision and so on (We took even port glasses with us :D ). I will be without a...

Nose: not that exploding

taste: a very nice fruit which comes along with a little acidity, perhaps a little too dry

I had hoped for more from this vintage

nose: nice matured nose, perfect

taste: strong body with a lot of perfect matured notes on the palatte. Very good aftertaste.

For most people it was the port of the evening, for me it came second after 87.

taste: closed
taste: harmonic body at the beginning to get drinkable

Do not touch this port in the next 10 years.

Nose: matured
taste: too old, is past its best time, fells apart over the time in the glass

You could taste that this was a very good port.

Nose: light nose
taste: balanced. I noted also, that this should be a good port to go with Stilton.

48 hours later this port showed a little bit strange and light.

nose: light nose

taste: a nice port to drink, but nothing to remember

I just wrote: this port is very suitable to make a salad dressing

Nose: a tight but very pleaseant nose

taste: very spicy, nice length

This port starts to make fun.

Nose: very nicy fruity nose
Taste: the port starts to develop from the youth to a more matured port and will be very nice in a few years

This will be a port for fun-drinking in about 3 years and on.

a real dream

so concentrated, that a drop last forever in the mouth

Nose: slighty acidic
Taste: not that impressive, more a little bit chemically

Nose: very fruity with a hint of spice

Taste: very tanninic, very fresh, gets with time more and more soicy notes on the palatte

Aftertaste: extremly long

A very nice port which will develop for a very long time

Nose: egg notes, not very overboarding

Taste: spicy,m closed up

Time will tell, whal will happen with this overextracted port

Nose: closed for this time

Taste: did not impress me this time. This port is in a phase were it should be left in the cellar. You taste that it could be a great port, but it must wait.

Nose: very fruity
Taste: a heavy fruity taste.

I would not compare it to the noval 03 because the noval has more wild fruit and the niepoort has a more tanninic fruit

This port has a very nice colour and a vey deep nose. Taste: tanninic and you can chew it. There a hint of acidity in the taste which helps the fruit to develop in the mouth. The aftertaste is extremly long. After retasting it 48 hours later, the port seemed a little more lighter. I can not say how ...

Nose: a very thick and smooth smell
Taste: very tasty, not for the long term
