1997 Niepoort Port Porto Magnum
Reviews
I tasted a barrel sample of this wine a few months before release and thought it was superb, so a nice chance to try it again, especially alongside the '97 Taylor. Opaque black colour. Immediately elegant and classy on the nose with finely-wrought fruit and a sweetness of violet and candied cherry. Massively ripe and concentrated on the palate with superb fruit. The whole picture is clamped by gripping tannins, but there is a great purity of blue/black fruit that is beautifully focused. ~94 Tom Cannavan
