2015 Niepoort Cask Sample Port

[Eric Menchen]

Will this be made into VP, LBV, or just blended into something else? Time will tell, but I’m optimistic for the first. This had intense juicy grapefruit and lots of acid in the mouth. It was tangy wonderful with juicy grapes. And it was very approachable, surprising to me as I often find the tannins in young wines a distraction. Was this lacking in tannins, or were the juicy flavors just so strong to keep them in check? I think this was the case. Not scored, but I think this has good potential.
