Notiz zum Wein: Redoma Tinto / 2016

Quelle: The Wine Advocate (UK) - 8/2018
Mit über 95 Punkten bewertet: REDOMA TINTO 2016 von Niepoort Vinhos 01.08.2018

In der August-Ausgabe des renommierten »The Wine Advocate« von Robert Parker haben die Weine von Niepoort wieder hohe Bewertungen erhalten. So hat der REDOMA TINTO 2016 satte 94-96/100 Punkten von Verkoster Mark Squires erhalten. Über die >Cuvée[Glossar][124] aus dem Douro, erzeugt aus den Rebsorten Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca und anderen, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:

„The 2016 Redoma is a field blend aged for 20 months in large and old wooden vats. It comes in at 13% alcohol. This was the final blend and out of cask, but it was a couple of weeks from bottling when seen. This adds intensity to the Vertente this issue but has some of the same characteristics, including glorious freshness and vivid fruit flavor. This is a terrific Redoma, tight, crisp, tense, focused and lingering, plus pretty delicious. It looks like a fine competitor to the 2015. Niepoort said he liked the balance on the 2015 somewhat better, and this had somewhat harder edges, at least now. He said the 2016 might age better, though. Then, after thinking about it, he said the he preferred the 2016. He seemed a little confficted - me too. It is hard choosing between your children. I liked the structure and intensity here a little more, while the 2015 has more finesse. In the long run, I suspect that they will be pretty close, both big winners. It is certainly true, though, that this 2016 is a bit more closed at the same point in its life. They are both going to age well too, probably better than anticipated.”
