In der April-Ausgabe des renommierten »
The Wine Advocate« haben die Weine und
Ports von
Niepoort wieder hohe Bewertungen erhalten. So hat der
TAWNY 10 YEARS OLD herausvorragende 93/100 Punkten von Verkoster Luis Guitierrez erhalten. Über den Port aus dem
D.O.C. Vinho do Porto, erzeugt u. a. aus den Rebsorten
Touriga Nacional,
Tinta Amarela,
Tinta Cão,
Tinta Francisca,
Tinta Roriz,
Touriga Franca und
Sousão, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„The 2022 bottling of the NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port still has signs of youth and some ruby/red color in it, with notes of cherries in liqueur intermixed with nuts and spice, with lots of depth and complexity. I think the 10 year old is a category that is somewhere in between, still a little young but with some development and good complexity. That can be explained due to the fact that it's a blend of older and younger wines, and this is 10 years on average (or style) and, in my book, very good value for the category. It has 19.5% alcohol and 110 grams of sugar. 25,000 bottles produced.”
