Mit 92-94/100 Punkten bewertet: ›Redoma Branco Reserva 2014‹ von Niepoort

In der August-Ausgabe 2015 des renommierten »The Wine Advocate« haben die Weine von Niepoort wieder hohe Bewertungen erhalten. So hat Niepoorts ›Redoma Branco Reserva 2014‹ aus dem D.O.C. Douro satte 92-94/100 Punkten von Verkoster Mark Squires erhalten. Über die Cuvée, erzeugt aus den Rebsorten Rabigato, Codega, Donzelinho und Arinto, schreibt nachfolgend im Original:

„The Redoma Reserva Branco, is Niepoort's old-vines filed blend (even older on average than the regular and with a bit more oak: 10 months in French barrels, only 20 % new). It was seen just before bottling, but it was the final blend. Showing a touch more wood, but a bit more power than the regular ›Redoma Branco‹, it still seems elegant rather than concentrated; more harmonious than powerful. The wood mutes the invigorating character the regular Redoma showed, but not by much. Overall, the two should age great, different sides of the same coin with somewhat different stylistic choices. The regular is far more enticing at the moment. This should move into the lead in time, but they are both fine examples of this well-known brand. (...) Drink 2015-2028”
