Niepoort Garrafeira 1977 Porto

95 pts Jamie Goode - Still young in the colour, it is brownish red in the centre and more orange towards the board. On the nose we are taken to a dimension where everything is both complex, fine and balanced: spices, red fruit (plums), chocolate and light toast with notes of dried fruit and cigar box. The palate confirms just what you expect: elegant, soft, silky tannins that blend perfectly to an acidity giving the whole a great freshness and pleasure. Long finish and a very pleasant taste.
