Let us continue with more wine from fabulous producer Niepoort
Niepoort LBV 2005 20%, bottled 2009
Decanted 7 hours
Colour:
Just out of the bottle it's extremely dark red, close to purple and slightly cloudy - After 7 hours it's taken now clear but still very dark red, with a slight white edge to it.
Nose:
Massive grape attack, a little pricle from the alchohol (very nice) some oak maybe? Baked figs? a vague baked note in there also, maybe?
Taste:
Again the grape is massive, but nicely integrated with the alchohol, loads of grape sweetness, blueberry pie
Finish:
Long and lingering, far from as drying as the 2004 (later review), this one just slowly fades out...
An excellent LBV and quite unfiltered, maybe a good storing potential in this one...
90/100!
