Niepoort 10 Year Old Tawny Port / Half Bottle
Fortified 20% ABV ABV NiepoortPerfect after-dinner sipper
Bought the half bottle to try with some stilton after Christmas dinner and it was a real hit. Smooth as anything, no burn at all even at 20%. The nutty, caramelly flavours just keep going. Would definitely buy a full bottle next time.
Nice but £25 for a half bottle?
Got this as part of a port tasting we did with friends. It's good — clean, well balanced, proper tawny character. But nearly £25 for a half bottle is a bit steep when you can get decent tawnies for less. I'd want the full size at that price point.
Converted me to tawny port
I've always been more of a ruby port person but tried this at a friend's house and honestly it's changed my mind. There's so much going on — dried fruit, a bit of nuttiness, and it just keeps unfolding as you drink it. Half bottle is actually ideal because a little goes a long way with something this rich.
Great recommendation from the shop
The guy at my local wine shop suggested this when I said I wanted something for my dad's birthday. Dad loved it — said it was really smooth with none of that harsh alcohol taste you sometimes get with port. Apparently Niepoort are well regarded so I felt like I'd made a good choice.
