1968 Niepoort White Colheita

Post by PhilW »

Brown and gold in colour with perhaps just a hint of green on the rim, this venerable white colheita has a fantastic and enticing smell; gorgeous, full, heady complexity, this port impresses even before tasting. In the mouth, a pleasing well-balanced complexity of white fruits and acidity, constantly evolving as you savour it, with some petrol notes joining mid-late palate and across a very long finish. This is a seriously impressive port.
