Sobre Vinhos e Afins, tasting note published in May 27th 2015
The wine has a medium intensity garnet colour, with a pronounced watery halo, but with a bright appearance (a sign of good acidity). The aroma, past the excess, continued to show camphor, along with fruitcake, balsam, cherries and plums (a bit in syrup, a bit overripe), meat broth, mushrooms, wet leaves and earth (sous-bois). It had medium body, with medium+ acidity, tannins still intense but very fine, medium+ flavour intensity, and high persistence. Not a wine for everyone; but for those who like wines with quite evolved character. And even then, I don't think it should be kept for longer.
Niepoort Vinhos
The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. The first property in Douro was bought in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort started a new Era in the company with the creation of the first Redoma red in 1991. In the last years Niepoort took on the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates and acquired two properties in other regions, Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle which express the different terroirs: Schist (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).
