1963 Niepoort Vintage Port
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:08 pm
Decant: 3½ hours - Firm red in colour; 50% opaque. Sharp, sour fruit on the nose, full of dust. Sweet and thick in texture; sweet fruit and a mass of dusty tannins that grows and delivers nuance and layer of flavour. Large and powerful on the palate. Balanced aftertaste and an amazingly long finish of bitter chocolate that slowly changes to a maraschino cherry. Very fine, very good. 91 points
