Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:37 pm
Part of the '55 @ 55 tasting at the RAF Club in London with special guest Christian Seely on 12-OCT-2010 after the 2010 Port Harvest Tour.
1955 Niepoort Vintage Port
Color: Medium red.
Nose: Very nice nose - anise, something minty, green tean, orange rind, and phosphorus (like a match head).
Palate: Nice but not great. Some harshness. Didn't evolve over time as most Niepoorts do.
Finish: Lingers. Better over time.
Score: 88+ points. Concensus ranked this 2nd of the 2nd flight, behind the Taylor and ahead of the Noval by a mere half a point.
