Description
In a nutshell:
A supple and succulent late bottled vintage port.
The lowdown:
Dirk Niepoort's LBV is bottled unfiltered so, unlike many other late bottled vintage ports, it may have some sediment and therefore would benefit from being decanted. It's aged for around 4 years in large wooden vats before being bottled which gives it bags of characters and makes it perfect for immediate drinking. With a deep ruby colour it has intense fruits of the forest aromas and with spicy and dark chocolate notes and a subtle floral undertone. The palate is fresh and seductive with good texture and body, superbly smooth tannins and a lively acidity. The finish is long, firm rich.
When to drink:
While it's ready to drink now it's one that'll also mature further if cellared over the next few years. Perfect to go with dark chocolate, or mature Cheddar, Gouda, or Brie.
