2015 Niepoort

[winesecretary]

2 hour decant from half bottle

95% opaque

Remarkable wine this. Still retains the ripe Williams pear note on the nose it has shown since the beginning.

Palate is incredible. Ripe red fruit, so rich and soft and juicy. Swallowing it is an almost squelchy experience, like treading on an absolutely humongous and perfectly ripe grape.

Some chocolate tannins, very late, but a wash of rich blue fruits mainly masks it.

Tremendous fun.

Thanks for the review. I have a dozen bottles of this cellared... good to know!
