Description

Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny exprime l'essence même d'un porto qui a vieilli une décennie entière en fût de chêne de petit format. De belle couleur rougeâtre, cet assemblage de différents vins âgés de 10 ans en moyenne offre une magnifique complexité aromatique, une grande fraîcheur et un bouquet persistant et raffiné. Véritable explosion d'arômes d'orange et de citron, il déploie également de belles notes de caramel et même de miel.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2015 with a long cork. This is a lovely 10 Year Tawny, elegant in the mid-palate, but complex, precise and focused. There's a bit of a bite on the finish, giving it some length to go with the flavor. The next day it was more about power, with considerable intensity of old-tawny flavor as well, more than I normally see in a 10 Year Old. This is a fine one for the category. It showed best around 56 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't drink it too warm. Pricing was not available when this was written. - Mark Squires. 

Wine Enthusiast:

“A finely balanced wine that combines rich red fruit flavors with acidity, a slight tang from the spirit and a feeling of warmth and roundness. It finishes with an almond note and fresh acidity”.
