Niepoort Vintage Port 2003

Powerful yet remarkably refined, Niepoort Vintage Port 2003 delivers concentrated blackberry and dark cherry with liquorice, mineral and bitter chocolate nuances. The palate is dense and structured, balancing abundant ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and substantial tannins through a remarkably long finish.

Food Pairing: Stilton, blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, Portuguese sponge cake, roasted walnuts, and other rich after-dinner dishes.

95 Points - James Suckling

Wonderful now with firm, chewy and dusty tannins yet ripe and generous. Lots of dark fruits with blueberry and blackberry. Slate character underneath it all. Full and juicy. A long life ahead but already a joy to taste.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

It is big, solid, chunky and packed with ripe fruit flavors. It also has fine acidity and a layer of dry, woodsy tannins. To finish, there are good bitter chocolate flavors. 

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Dark color. Intense aromas of blackberries, licorice and iodine. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with wonderfully integrated tannins. Long and caressing, yet wonderfully structured.
