Vintage 97: the defintive tasting

This Vintage has proved highly consistent on several occasions and this tasting was no exception. It showed an unusually good concentration and its structure on the palate was staggering. It is the best Niepoort ›Vintage‹ in 20 years and its volume in no way prevents it from being drunk now. We believe it has a remarkably long life ahead of it. Concentrated fruit, tannins, strength and a long finish. Simply superlative.

19/20 points (excellent, extraodrinarily impressive on the senses)
