TN: 2004 Niepoort Redoma Douro Red
My last bottle. Pop and Pour. Surprisingly dark color. Some minimal bricking. Looks young for a 2004. Black cherry, oak, molasses, and cola nose. The texture is amazingly suave. Based on the nose it seems heavy. Extremely smooth entry, some very fine tannins appear. It is a big wine, certainly for a Redoma. Black cherry and black berry palate. The finish is a bit clipped, but the tannins poke out at this point. Maybe too young? I guess I might see something more tomorrow. Delicious. Easy to drink. Worked well with my steak dinner. 92 points
