1991 Niepoort vintage port
Posted: 18:29 Thu 26 Mar 2009
Another odd bottle, again the only one I own, and also again my first encounter with the wine.
Decanted 5pm, little bit pale for it's age, average sediment. Unusually, the cork not only gives the year of bottling, but also the month - Dec '93
Little bit of bottle stink, some fruit on the nose, but it seems a bit stale - there's something else there that I can't quite identify.
First sip, very uncomposed, with a fiery kick. Something a bit odd about this one, and not terribly encouraging at this point.
See how it evolves..
