1957 Niepoort Colheita
Bottled in 1977. great intensity with hints of orange "scratches", roasting, caramel, nougat and peanuts.
Great unctuosity, velvety and great finish. Beautiful colheita

As this is my birth year, I've had this beauty on several occasions since 1997 and have one or two left in my stash. Great juice and for whatever reason, like 1966//67 and 1952, 1940 and 1937/1938 ... 1957 was an exceptional year for Colheitas. I also really love the Kopke but there are other good ones out there as well.
