Niepoort Ruby Dum Port / Half Bottle

Penelope Hart — Niepoort know what they're doing

8/10

I've had a few Niepoort ports and this ruby is no exception — really well made. Loads of dark berry compote character on the nose, lovely balance between sweet and acidic. The half bottle format is genius for when you don't want to commit to a full one.

Natasha Volkov — It's fine, nothing special

5/10

Decent enough port but I wasn't blown away. The fruit is nice and it goes down easy, but at 20% I was hoping for a bit more punch. Would probably try something else next time at this price.

Tariq Hassan — A bit pricey for a half bottle

5/10

The port itself is alright — dark fruit, bit of spice, goes down smooth. But nearly thirteen quid for a half bottle? You can get a full bottle of something decent for that. Would feel better about it at a tenner.
