1985 Niepoort
Posted: 14:41 Sun 09 Dec 2012
Original thread subject: Niepoort 1985 (good bt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
dark bright red color, 70% opague, black currants and elder, lovely texture, very long finish, a baby port in this condition! Vibrant, cherry and mint flavours combined with a medium to full bodied port appearance. Very balanced and well structured. Lovely, Lovely port!!!!!
Sadly you probably get 1bt in 12bts to be like that. The others have heavy VA and are just awful!
Thank you Axel for giving/selling this good bt to me out of the case you bought and shared. I was present when you opend 4bts out of the same case and they were all heavily damaged by VA. I only opened this bt today since it was slightly leaking, it is ~ -5C during the day (~-15C during night) at my mothers place and I thought it may do for a lunch tipple. I was badly wrong, will save most for dinner later.

) of the Niepoort 1985 is very similar to ealier today; a bit dryer on the finish and more elegant as a port. Also Elder and ink were replaced by more cherry flavours. Again really classy, lovely port!
