2005 Niepoort LBV Port
Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 12:08 am
Popped and poured. Dark redvioletpurpleblackish colour. Fruity smell of sweet, ripe dark berries. Taste of very sweet dark berries, raisin and plum. Medium concentration, and smooth tannins - to the point that the wine lacks "bite" and character.Well integrated alcohol. Medium length and unimpressive mouthfeel.
In my view this is an ok midweek easy drinking port. Too sweet and not enough character...
84 points from a Niepoort fan.
