Porto Colheita 2008 Niepoort

A Tawny port from Niepoort, made from grapes of the 2000 harvest and aged in wood for 14 years before bottling. It shows a garnet red colour with orange reflections. The nose carries dried fruit, red flower jam, plum and apricot, with smoky and caramelised sugar notes emerging with time in the glass. The palate is full, soft and balanced, with a spicy nutmeg note and a lively acidity softened by long ageing. The finish is long and pleasant. Serve slightly cooler as an aperitif or at the end of a meal with dessert.
