View All (5)I'm fairly new to port but this Niepoort is something else. You can taste the age in it — all that dark spice and molasses sweetness, but there's a freshness that stops it being cloying. Treated myself after a promotion and no regrets. The finish just goes on and on.
1 March 2026The guy at my local wine shop talked me into this and yeah it's nice — loads of dried fruit and caramel, proper rich stuff. But £54 for a port? I've had bottles at half the price that I enjoyed just as much. Would I buy it again? Probably not unless it was on offer.
19 February 2026Bought this for my dad's 60th and we cracked it open after dinner. The Christmas cake and fig flavours are spot on — rich and warming without being too sweet. That dry finish at the end is what makes it special, you just keep sipping. At £54 it's not cheap but for a special occasion port it's brilliant.
