Niepoort 1952 Rich Ruby

Post by Anton W. »

Some years ago I acquired a bottle of Niepoort 1952 Rich Ruby. Does anyone have experience with this specific bottle or with Rich Ruby in general? I am not familiar with this style.

Looking forward to your replies!

Anton,
Do you have a picture of the bottle you can post? Or you can send it to me and I'll post it for you.

"Aged in wood" - makes me pretty positive it is a Colheita from '52. Neat-looking bottle, I have not seen one like this before.

Enjoy Anton and do let us know what it is like when you do. [cheers.gif]

I've had the Niepoort 1952 Colheita before but I've never had it from that kind of bottle! :(

Very cool Anton!
