TN: 2007 Niepoort Charme Douro red

Post by Rune EG »

Decanted 2.5 hrs. Medium red with a tiny touch of brown, a bit unclear. Powerful aroma of berries, spices and oak. Medium body. Nice strong tannins (a bit too strong at the start). A bit too much acid for my taste. Need meat as food companion. Medium to long aftertaste. 91 pts.

Charme is the most "Burgundian" of his wines. They tend to be awkward when young and it's such a departure from the normal Douro style of dry wine people aren't sure what to make of it. Or just not their type of wine. :lol:
