Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A.
Colheita Porto Port Blend
Porto, Douro, Portugal
2007 colheita, bottled in 2022. You can't go wrong with Dirk Niepoort's colheitas and this freshly bottled 2007 is a beauty. Niepoort colheitas are typically bottled after minimum 10 years in barrel (the legal minimum being 7 years) and the first bottling for this 2007 took place in March 2018. While they won't go bad in bottle, you might as well get them as fresh as possible. Brilliant tawny colour. Wonderful aromatics with candied fruits, orange peel, salted caramel and coffee. In the mouth it is amazingly fresh, with bright acidity balancing the dried figs and plums and the refined tannic backbone. Impressively long finish with candied orange, dark chocolate and coffee. A beautiful meditation wine and exceptional value. Abv. 18,9%.

Delicious, and thrilling.
A burnished cherry color. Dry hay, barley, red berry, sloe, damson plum, and raisin on the nose with cocoa, Malibu (coconut rum), berry jam and caramel sweetness on the palate... along with salt, savor, some astringency and a rapier-like acidity.

Brimming with caramel, nuts, burnt sugar, and orange peel. Elegant texture with a really long, smooth finish. Hard to set the glass down. Tasty with a LOT going on.

A little hot, but I've found that old Colheita is the greatest kind out there.

Usually not the biggest fan of port but this is a tip top! Nuts and raisins, warm, plenty of baking spices. Not too sweet or hot in the mouth, smooth, sleek and fresh (for port)
