eRoberParker.com« kürt jeden Tag einen „Wein des Tages”. Heute fiel die Wahl auf den ›
Redoma Branco 2011‹ von
Niepoort. Den mit 91/100 bewerteten Weißen aus der portugiesischen
D.O.C. Douro stellt Autor und Verkoster Mark Squire den Besucher wie folgt vor:
„The 2011 Redoma Branco comes from 40+ year old vines, particularly including
Codega do Larinho,
Rabigato,
Viosinho and
Arinto, fermented and aged in 228-liter French oak. This is, like its
Tiara counterpart, opens very fine and quite elegantly, but it expanded nicely with air. It is also quite a mouthful. Oak is an obvious note on this wine early on, but it is well controlled and the fruit makes its presence easily known. It should easily calm down some with time as its balance is excellent. This has an effortless feel to it – but it doesn’t fade easily and as it warms it actually becomes quite powerful and gripping on the finish. It should age well, too. This is a very appealing Branco. 91/100 Punkten. Trinken: 2012-2019.”
