95/100 Punkten für TAWNY 30 YEARS OLD von Niepoort

The NV 30 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2023. They sell very small volumes of this wine so that they can keep up with it, as they are making a little bit more Port to keep and age for these blends and maybe aged colheitas (and Garrafeira!). It’s moving in the direction of a liqueur or a brandy; the evaporation makes the wine concentrated, and the aromas are clearly more in the nut and varnish category. It’s dense and impressive, pungent and powerful, with a round palate and a soft texture. They never made a 40 year old (or even less, the new 50 year old category), because it’s not their style. But I have to admit that this 30 year old is very nice. This should last forever.
