Niepoort Bioma Vinha Velha 2013 Port

Andre Dubois — Best port I've ever had, full stop

10/10

My local wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something really special. I'm not exaggerating when I say every sip was slightly different — like layers kept revealing themselves. You'd never guess it's 20% because the alcohol is completely hidden. I've been into port for about five years now and this is the one that's ruined all others for me.

Olivia Park — Really good but maybe overhyped?

7/10

Saw this getting loads of praise online so treated myself for Christmas. It's definitely a quality port — nice structure, good acidity, long finish. But at £164 I expected it to change my life and it didn't quite get there. I'd probably pick a Niepoort at a lower price point next time and be just as happy.

Ingrid Holm — Incredible but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a tasting event and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Really expressive nose, loads of dark concentrated fruit, and the finish just goes on and on. But £164 is a lot for port when you can get very good stuff for a third of that. If someone else is buying, absolutely — but I'd hesitate to grab it myself again.
