2000 Niepoort Moscatel do Douro port

Post by Rune EG »

Purchased 7 bottles back in 2010. Kept two to see how they developed. Consumed both bottles during one evening at Easter, and the result was amazing.

37.5 cl bottle. No decanting. Served nearly fridge cold. Clear transparent bronze colour. Complex aroma of apricot, citrus, oak and some undefined parts. Full body. Elegant, rich, round style showing citrus, peach and hints of apricot/almonds/marzipan. Well-structured port with a pleasant sweetness, but without being too sweet or cloying! Fantastic development after seven additional years of storage, now being 17 years. Up three points from seven years ago. 96 pts
