  Très typé Douro et vraiment bon. Sans surprise c'est bien foncé et le nez est sur les fruits noirs. La bouche est plus élégante que prévue et d'un bel équilibre, sans excès. Prix approprié pour ce tinto qui pourra se bonifier encore sur quelques années.

  Color: Medium ruby with a purple hue. Nose: Red berries and wild herbs. Quite nice! Mouth: Light to medium bodied. Juicy and lean. Excellent expressiveness and length. Off the beaten path. It tastes very natural.

  Like a Chianti but less tannic finish

  Purchased for $20. My first "non Port" experience with Niepoort. Lighter than I was expecting for a Douro. Lots of really juicy red fruit. Sweet oak from the 22mo aging. Baking spices, hints of tar. Notes of earth and slate. On the palate, sweet juicy red fruit with some smokiness from the oak. Very light hints of dark fruit. I may be showing my inexperience here, but my guess is this blend has more Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca than Touriga Nacional. I'd be interested to see the blend make-up. Really tasty. Grade: A-
