1970 Niepoort Vintage Port

[David Spriggs]

1970 Niepoort Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto
Unbelievable bottle! So ridiculously dark. Coffee nose. Very young and dense. Seems surprisingly primary. Still some unresolved tannins. Long finish. With more time, there is an appealing confectionery aspect that emerges. I have had other bottles of this wine and they were more than ready to drink (and actually quite average). This particular bottle needs at least 10 more years of bottle age. Superb! (94 pts.)
