2005 Niepoort vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Opaque, dark red in colour. Oddly plastic and tanky on the nose. Silky texture, early fruit then ripe chalky tannins. A big palate presence with great development and complexity. Modest aftertaste and length. 89/100. Drunk at the BFT on 24 April 2013.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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