1991 Niepoort
Posted: 19:26 Tue 20 Aug 2024
Niepoort 1991, half bottle. Evolved colour, bronze; 30% opaque. Unpleasant nose, perhaps weevil tainted? But something not right. The palate is better than the nose with toffee and caramel, unfortunately a little oxidised. So much caramel and butterscotch! The butterscotch persists beautifully on the finish. A few years ago, this would have been a wonderful glass of wine. 86/100. Served blind. Guess: Graham 1960. Drunk 14-August-2024.
