2009 Niepoort vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Surprisingly red, with little purple; 90% opaque. Luscious fruit on the nose. Generous fruit shows on the palate but without baby fat. Structure dominates over fruit. Good length, but lots of restraint. 87/100. Drunk at the BFT on 24th April 2013.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
