Der berühmte US-Journalist James Suckling (früher »Wine Spectator«) hat aktuell unter der Rubrik „Portugal's Greatest Wines in 2015- Top 100 Wines in 2015” die Port- und Stillweine von
Niepoort aus dem
D.O.C. Douro hoch bewertet. Über deren rote
Cuvée ›
Redoma Tinto 2013‹, den er mit 96/100 Punkten bewertet, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„This is extremely concentrated yet remains agile and bright. Aromas of flowers and dark fruit with strawberry. Full-bodied, tight and velvety yet polished tannins. Very long. This is from 80-year-old or more vineyards near the winery. Lots of north facing vineyards insuring freshness in the wine. Part of the grapes are fermented in stone lagars traditionally used for Port. Only about 12,5 % alcohol. Yes. Better in 2018.”
