TN: Niepoort Poeirinho Bairrada 2013

[Ronald Wortel]

100% old vine Baga. Redcurrant and cranberry nose. Mineral and and floral notes on the palate, but very demanding: quite lean with piercing acidity and high (though fine) tannin. Not particularly joyful to drink on its own now, and not quite sure it has the complexity (yet) to stand up to many foods. This needs to settle down and grow over time. Wait and see. 86+?

What's the price on this?

[Ronald Wortel]

I paid NZD $58 for it, which is about $40 USD. Don't know about pricing in Europe, NZ prices tend to be a bit higher.

Ouch. That's a bit pricey for a wine not showing better.

True. So glad I bought 3...
Good thing is we're going to Holland tomorrow for holiday, so I'll take these with me to stick in the cellar and forget about for the coming years.
