The glass containing the Niepoort Vintage is almost overflowing with fruity aromas – damson, cassis, tobacco and cigar box all beautifully defined. With aeration there is a very appealing sense of Bordeaux-like austerity that comes forth. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, a slight savoriness infusing the tertiary black fruit, and superb structure on the reserved, quite aristocratic finish, which offers a kick of spice on the aftertaste. Wonderful.
This fruity style shows plenty of peppery notes, with bright cherry and fresh-crushed plum flavors that are crisp and lively. Finishes with a flurry of pomegranate and chocolate accents.
