2019 Niepoort LBV Unfiltered (bottled 2024)

Post by slateshalehead »

From a 375ml bottle, on initial opening lots of fresh fruits, but quickly overpowered by a heavy minerality I don’t often get with LBVs. Upon inspection, cork glitters with small tartrate crystals.

24 hours later, the minerality is diminished on the palate, and the taste has transformed more towards blackberry and plum.
