92/100 Punkten für Niepoorts LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE 2012

Großartige 92 Punkte für den LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE 2012 von Niepoort Vinhos: Auf Robert Parkers »The Wine Advocate« ist nachfolgende Notiz von Verkoster Mark Squires in der Februar-Ausgabe 2017 zum Portwein aus dem D.O.C. Porto erschienen:

„The 2012 Late Bottled Vintage Port was bottled in 2016 with a long cork. Focused and precise, this traditional LBV is notable for its subtle concentration and power. It's not at all jammy, but the expressive fruit lingers and makes it seem richer thatn it is on opening while the wine's inherent freshness cuts through the mid-palate and gives it a lively feel. The structure is actually better than the fruit - apar from the crisp feel, this has a real backbone. That supports the fruit beautifully and it was even more apparent afters some six hours open. Not surprisingly, this young LBV was a bit tight. If it is not always impressive for its depth, it is for its power, precision and lift. I loved the firm feel on the finish. Overall, this is very pretty, age-worthy and likely to become increasingly complex. If the mid-palate keeps up as it ages - which still has to be proven - this might have a nice, long life. Pricing was not available as of this writing.”
