Sweet, light tannins, fruity - harmony and balance
Vintage - 2015 - 0.75l - Niepoort
Dirk Niepoort: “The sweetness is hidden behind great tannins, the alcohol is behind the exuberant concentration and all of this is balanced by the fantastic natural acid structure of the vintage. The aromas in the nose are still a bit shy, but focused, not an overripe rum pot, but a fine, elegant fruit character with complexity that is simply a pleasure to smell. The balance and harmony in the bottle give hope for a great future. You can taste it in the coming years for its radiant youth, then drink it properly for the first time in 20 years and it will offer full enjoyment in 40 years. A wine for generations to come that will show what the Douro Valley can really do.”
