2005 Niepoort 'Robustus' Douro
Half Redoma, half Batuta fruit, aged 4 years in oak. Homemade blackberry/dark cherry conserve - no lumps, just lots of delicious, preserved fruit flavour; slight Syrah-like spiciness; an ounce of schist gravel. Smooth, 'iron fist in a velvet glove' tannins and acid structure. More on toast please. We love this!
