1977 Niepoort vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

The last of the vintages vinified and blended by Taylor for an on behalf of Niepoort. Generous red colour, pale rim. Some heat on the nose, but with gentle fruit under the heat. Sweet and thick on the palate, concentrated flavours and chalky tannins, Nice, mouthfilling and quite big. Hot aftertaste, then a tannin based dryness and a medium length finish of mature, spiced fruit. Very good port. 92/100. 13-Jun-12. Decanted 3 hours.
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!
