Storladen og opulent, men med masser af friskhed og intensitet.
Med Niepoort 30 Years Tawny befinder vi os blandt sværvægterne indenfor portvin. Med sin enorme kompleksitet og finesse, får med denne vin nøglen til et smagsunivers langt udover det sædvanlige. Kun de bedste vine bruges til denne Tawny, der er sammenstukket af flere forskellige årgange med en gennemsnitsalder på 30 år.
I glasset fremstår den flot og mørk med brunlige nuancer. Duften svæver ubesværet op af glasset og forkæler næseborene med noter af moden frugt, ristede nødder og varme krydderier. Smagen er intens, men samtidig blød og rund. Eftersmagen er lang med imponerende friskhed. Det bliver ikke meget større end Niepoort 30 Years Tawny.

Distinctive, with a light Sherry edge of walnut and dried lemon peel flavors amid more typical tawny notes of golden raisin, ginger, dried orange and green tea. Light floral hints line the finish. A very elegant style, with a decidedly dry feel.

The NV 30 Years Old Tawny Port is a field blend coming in at 110 grams of residual sugar. It was bottled in 2017 and comes with a long cork. Last issue's report on 30 Year Tawnies featured some commentary by Dirk Niepoort, but the wine did not arrive until after our last issue went to press. It is here now, though. Silky and characterized by its acidity, this takes its classic, old tawny flavors and makes them dance. It just seems spicy and very bright but not terribly fleshy. The mid-palate is on the lighter side. It finishes with a wave of molasses and dried caramel. It seems very mature. This has a fairly distinctive style due to the complexity and acidity, but it is a pleasure to drink.

Old-gold in color, this wine has concentrated flavors with an almost medicinal intensity. Old wood and acidity form a dominant element along with a note of orange peel. A memorable wine for savoring.

Similar subtlety as on the 20 Year Old but more nutty. Creamy, apricot, caramel fragrance. Masterfully understated, with all the tangy flavours of tawny in an elegant whole. Lovely wine.
