2013 Niepoort LBV
Bottled 2017. Rich red velvet colour with a wide rim. A delicious nose of warm and floral fruit. Smooth entry bringing sweet strawberry, fruit which is restrained at first but then suddenly bursts onto the taste buds in a huge wave. Soft tannins swim in the background shouting encouragement to the fruit. This has excellent complexity on the palate, a soft aftertaste and a gentle fruit finish with a sweet residue. There is a great balance to this elegant LBV. 88/100. 06-Nov-17.
