1996 Niepoort LBV
1996 Niepoort LBV
In anticipation of a forthcoming Croft tasting in The Bunghole, 57 High Holborn, London WC1V 6DT, we thought that it might be a good idea for three of us to test the location. The trial run grew to six people, and was held in the larger room. Links:

Too late in the evening to take a note.
This was a very solid port. I remember having it from 750ml bottles four or five years ago and it was much, much younger and bigger than this. But this half bottle was delicious - very good port.

From a half bottle. Red middle, with a touch of orange on the edge. Good cherry flavour. Good value for its price.
Unfortunately, this was opened a bit late for a proper note!
