2011 Niepoort LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2015. Deep red, bordering on scarlet at the rim. Opaque centre. Fresh blackcurrant nose of an exuberant and youthful port. A big mouthful of fruit, slightly perfumed by hints of aniseed and big, powerful tannins. A lovely fruity aftertaste and finish that is concentrated and persistent. A great LBV capable of aging and improving for 30 years. 89/100. 06-May-15.
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!
