Sage und schreibe 96 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergibt Sarah Ahmed vom britischen »Decanter« nach der Verkostung des »Colheita 2004« von Niepoort. Mit diesen Worten stellt sie den Vinho do Porto ihren Lesern vor:
„With its honey, praline and cedar nose, and ruddy, conker-sheen hue, this single-vintage Tawny thoroughly beguiles. Sweet gingerbread, caramelised orange, lightly peppery pear skin and fine dark chocolate bring nuance and depth to this most balanced of Ports. Mellifluous, controlled, never broad, it is ever so lingering. Aged in in old Port pipes until 2018, it was bottled long after the minimum Colheita ageing period of seven years. 96/100 points; Drinking Window: 2023-2030.”
