2003 Niepoort Vintage Port

When I first opened this the fruit was very restrained leaving a harshly tannic and astringent Port, a start contrast to the opulent fruit this normally shows which made this such a great youngster. 24 hours later there is a little more fruit peaking through but it's still rather closed compared to all the previous bottles I've had. I have a feeling this has entered a bit of a phase at the moment and may be best to leave alone in the cellar for a few years.

Thanks for the heads-up. I only have two bottles of this but I'm the type who's prone to pop em on a whim so it's good to know that I should keep my hands off...
