Niepoort Vintage 2011 is a fortified wine from the historic Port house in the Douro Valley of Portugal. The 2011 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest of the 21st century, characterised by a perfect growing season that produced fruit of immense concentration and balance. This Port is a blend of traditional varieties, including Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, matured in large oak vats for two years before bottling. It displays an opaque purple hue and an intense bouquet of blackberries, violets and dark chocolate. The palate is defined by firm, chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity that ensures a lifespan of several decades.

The glass containing the Niepoort Vintage is almost overflowing with fruity aromas – damson, cassis, tobacco and cigar box all beautifully defined. With aeration there is a very appealing sense of Bordeaux-like austerity that comes forth. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, a slight savoriness infusing the tertiary black fruit, and superb structure on the reserved, quite aristocratic finish, which offers a kick of spice on the aftertaste. Wonderful. Tasted May 2013.
