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 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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