Note di degustazione
Saturated medium ruby. Inviting, slightly high-toned aromas of cassis, black cherry, violet, cardamom, star anise, licorice and mint. Penetrating and aromatic in the mouth, with floral high notes lifting the primary, intense blackberry flavor. Offers a lush texture but also terrific definition and grip. Very silky, concentrated port with outstanding energy and a light touch for the vintage (not to mention for its 20% alcohol). Lay this one down. From vines more than 100 years of age, according to Burgundy fanatic Dirk Niepoort, who prefers this vintage to his 2007.

Massive in every way but so beautifully complete and integrated. More flesh than the tannic 2007 but the power and structure are all there; rich, sustained, mouthfilling and very long indeed. (JH)
