Niepoort Redoma Douro Vinho Tinto 1999

Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalRipe cherry jam, gamey, plum, peppery spice nose with some licorice, vanilla and sweaty leather. Rounder and riper with slightly dry tannins, has strong cedar, vanilla oak flavours with black cherry pepper and coffee throughout the aftertaste. Un-knit but has good early-midterm potential. Should improve in bottle ovr the next two years as the tannins soften and fatten up the palate.Tasted: 01 May 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
