11,000 cases. Violet in colour, with an open nose. Massive sweet fruit on entry, then very fierce tannins sieze the palate. A big wine, well structured. A slight bitterness to the finish, with the tannins powerful and persistent throughout the long, peppery finish. 93-95. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
