1987 Niepoort Colheita Port

  The first smell of this wine concerned me - I got campfire smoke, a hint of Sulphur, some mustiness, Earl Grey tea bags, and some subtle cinnamon on the nose. However, the odors eventually subsided and gave way to red fruits and cinnamon red hots candy. Red fruit dominated the palate and was underscored by some light spirit. Nice long finish with some red fruits and light spirit. For a rocky start, this wine evolved in my glass into a beauty. (94 pts.)
