Niepoort Vintage 1992

Notes - Niepoort is a family company now in its fifth generation and presently managed by Dirk Niepoort. Despite being the second smallest shippers in the trade they are second to none in quality. Already famous for their classic tawny ports, they have now joined the ranks of the great producers of Vintage Port. At the time of 1992 declaration there was much debate as to the merits of the 1992 versus the 1991 Vintage and the majority of shippers at the time went for one year or the other, while Niepoort went one better and declared them both. The 1992 vintage continues Niepoort´s tradition to create balanced ports with great concentration but simultaneously fine and delicate. Medium depth of colour with a red rim, on the aroma starting to show some wonderful bottle age which follows through on the palate with a mild bitter chocolate character and fresh dark fruits. Good weight Freshness and extract on the palate leading to a spirit dominated finish.
