Community Tasting Note

SAND Likes this wine:

Thursday, April 9, 2015 - Lovely rose and liquorice notes, even tar and smoke. But primarily a spicy, fresh and fruity nose.
Taste & palate: Rounded and juicy attack, so fresh and "clean". Moderate sweetness, as typical for Niepoort, and minerals. Lovely juiciness with lots of semi-sweet fruit balanced by lots of tannins and a nice acidity. Lovely young port, on a par even with some of the lighter vintage ports (except that this is better structured and more balanced and elegant).
Improved after overnight airing. Drinks superbly right now but will certainly last (and develop) for another 10-15 years, probably 20 (Drink 2014-2034).
Great wine and great QPR!
