Niepoort 30 Years Tawny Port
96 pts Wine Enthusiast - Deep brown colour with a brown rim and a touch of green - very characteristic in old tawny ports. On the nose a wine from another era, but very much alive with a fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur which comes through on the palate with great spirit finish.

Winemaking:
Tawnies with an age indication such as "20 years" are blended from different wines averaging 20 years. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny colour. The principle features of an aged tawny are the complexity of aromas, the freshness and a persistent bouquet and refinement. After dinner, old tawny is a good match with cheeses and especially chocolate based desserts. It can also be drunk as an aperitif, serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Niepoort produces 10, 20 and 30 years old Tawny. The skilful ageing and blending of the different tawny ports is the art of master blender José Nogueira. Vinification: The tawnies are aged in small old oak casks (550 l) in the cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, over many years. The balanced marriage of the different characteristics and diverse ages is the art of the Niepoort master blender José Nogueira.

Complex raisiny, spicy and very elegant. Good acidity. Fresh and spicy with great length – almost profound. Very good/excellent

96 points - Niepoort 30 Years Old Tawny Port

Old-gold in color, this wine has concentrated flavors with an almost medicinal intensity. Old wood and acidity form a dominant element along with a note of orange peel. A memorable wine for savoring.

81 points - Niepoort 30 Years Old Tawny Port

More like Sherry than Port with a rancid aroma yet also some pretty honey, burnt orange flavors. Viscous texture and smooth, but short.
