Wow! This is fantastic for an LBV. Very dark color. Lifted dark roasted coffee nose, orange peel, and a touch of earth. The initial palate is HUGE. Really big. A touch of heat. Maybe missing a bit of complexity. But wow, is it expressive! Long, long, long (did I say long) finish. My previous bottle of this was the worst VA infected bottle of Port that I've ever had. But this was perfect! 93 Points
From a half-bottle. This was my last of the 18 half-bottles purchased.

Yeah this was a great year for a number of LBV’s, Niepoort included. I’ve got just shy of a case of this I’m leaving for many years down the road. It was so massive as a youngster.
