1970 Niepoort Vintage Port
Posted: 14:25 Mon 30 Nov 2009
Tasted within the Niepoort Range on Nov 27th with Dirk Niepoort out of a bulky bottle.
Very youthful colour and immense concentration. Bouquet intense, complex with still some fruit present. Perfectly structured and integrated palate with honey, some background fruit and lots of caramel flavours.
Perfect aftertaste, extremely long and fully integrated again.

Background: The 1970 Niepoort always tastes better out of the bulky bottle rather than the normal one. This Port has been stored several months in small casks rather than in the big vats. Dirk is trying the same again with his Pisca
