Niepoort 30 Year Old Tawny Port: Amber Elegance

Ingrid Holm — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Got this as a 30th birthday present to myself because, well, 30 year old port for a 30 year old felt right. The dark chocolate and toffee on the finish is incredible — I kept going back for tiny sips all evening. Pricey at £180 but honestly felt worth it for the occasion.

Tried this at a tasting event and it's nice, don't get me wrong. Really smooth with figs and raisins and a coffee thing going on. But for nearly two hundred quid I expected to have my mind blown, and there are ports at half the price that get you most of the way there.

Had a glass of this at a restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. It's silky and rich without being too heavy, and I love that dry finish at the end — stops it feeling like dessert in a glass. Would I buy it again at this price? Probably not regularly, but it's a proper treat bottle.
