1983 Niepoort Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: Not Known - Mature red colour, thinning red rim; 50% opaque. Warm and alcoholic nose, a little unbalanced and with a touch of bottle stink. Sweet and very thick entry, lots of concentrated fruit - dry cherry and late light tannins. A burst of heat on the aftertaste, then a very long and tart finish of woody licorice root. Served blind, this was guessed to be Dow 1983. 89 points
