2005 Niepoort

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red, opaque and still with some youthful magenta. Harsh nose with fruit, but it is sour fruit. On the palate this also has sour fruit and big tannins. The palate is great, big and robust. The big presence carries through to the big finish, full of chewy blackcurrant skins and caramelized sugar. 91/100. 06-May-15.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
