For The Love of Port
Sommelier Journal

By Roy Hersh
(Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage Port) Unfiltered; bottled 2009. The nose is reticent—it was well into the second day before I noted anything aromatically, and then only grapey and boysenberry nuances. In the mouth, the wine is moderately full, soft, and fluid, with a hint of heat in the midpalate and finish. Its best feature is a gorgeous texture, velvety, round, and elegant. Sweet in style, with good acidity and refined granular tannins, this Port is well balanced, if a bit on the simple side. Ordinarily, I am a big fan of the Niepoort LBVs, but the ’05 did not captivate my senses. It will drink best now through the end of this decade. LBV: The Other Vintage Port

Perfectly mature. Smooth and elegant. Not a very complex and deep wine, but very pleasing and easy drinking. Will drink well for at least five more years.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), mineral, oak, clove, stoniness and cherry. The body is medium/full. The wine has fleshy texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

9.11.2013: Schöner Port, sehr mild und offen, kein alkoholischer Biss, sehr lecker.
28.6.2013: Sehr schöner und aromatischer Port, unglaubliche Dichte, sehr ausgewogen und balanciert, schöne Schokoladennoten
WS90: Delivers sweet berry, violet and prune notes, with a hint of coffee bean. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with focused fruit, chewy tannins, lovely balance and a long finish. Give this some more time. Decant before serving.
