Niepoort LBV Vertical - Pre 2000 wines: Lovely and compact nose packed with fruit. Dense and concentrated blackberry flavors with black pepper and harsh/young tannins. Still seems very young and overall an excellent wine.

Dark red with a light browning on the rim showing some age. Some hints of nuttiness give this powerful wine additional complexity. A bit of alcohol sticking out at the long finish. Very good. Drink or hold.

Very structured for an LBV, classic, velvety, good concentration, ripe cherries, coffee and chocolate, well-balanced, good detph, excellent length. A very serious LBV that clearly needs time. Drink 2002-2014?
