Both bottles referenced here were the taller "normal" style bottle and not the more common short squat bottle. Darker in color than the 1977 Niepoort VP. With a nose of sweet cola and tobacco. Licorise, dates, spices, wisps of tobacco, and solid tannins and acidity continue through into the finish. A well showing bottle but the bottle opened last night showed even better.
