2009 Niepoort

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

2009 Niepoort cask sample
Half bottle, served chilled from the fridge. Deep purple-black, absolutely opaque. Lovely nose of blackcurrant and fresh orange. Huge, sweet and juicy fruit all over the palate; gentle and soft tannins. Lovely depth to the mid-palate with a delicious herb overtone. Lingering cherry and chocolate aftertaste and long finish. Perfect drinking for someone who enjoys youthful and exuberant port. Delicious. 90/100. Drunk 27 May 2012 with no decanting.
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!
