1977 Niepoort Vintage Port

[Eric Menchen]

Tasted blind. Sweeter and more berry aroma than the above (1977 Graham), along with some leather, and mahogany, then more leather and cinnamon. The body is a little thin, but nicely flavored with subtl orand and strawberry. The body is developing with some darker fruit flavors like black plum and dried fig. Very pleasant. This improved with time, with a nice integration of fruits and sugars, and there was some lime too. Initially scored 91-92, but improved to 93+ points.
