[*]2003 Niepoort Porto - Portugal, Douro, Porto
Charcoal and pepper come out on the nose. OMG, the palate is punishing, massive structure, reach for some bread and some water, try again, egads, ouch, this is just so freaking tannic I am blown away. On my third try I started to see the beauty of this young gorilla, but man oh man did my mouth feel worked over. Clearly this was the most overtly structured wine of the tasting. Roy says it has the goods for the long haul, but certainly I can't make that call. An impressive wine but one for your grandchildren. (93 pts.)[/*:m][/list:u]
