Description
The Late Bottled Vintage Port of Niepoort is an example of the so-called Traditional Late Bottled Vintage type which is very popular today as a port. It is produced only from full-bodied red wines all from the same vintage and ages for 4-6 years in large wooden vats, after which it is bottled without any sort of filtration.
If the eye catches the eye with its incredibly concentrated ruby red color, the notes of berries, spices and dark chocolate stand out, wrapped in a light and elegant floral background. In the mouth it is expressive and fresh, seductive, with a beautiful consistency. The tannin is present but it is very soft while a lively vinous freshness characterizes the long finish. Excellent with dishes based on aromatic meats such as venison or lamb, it prefers chocolate desserts especially if dark.other recommendations
