The Niepoort Vintage Port 2007 has had nearly two decades to develop since the harvest. For a wine that was bottled young, that time is of great importance. The original fruit intensity remains recognizable, but is now complemented by a softer structure and more complex aromas.
Many producers in the Douro declared 2007 a Vintage Port year. The vintage is often associated with a lovely balance between ripeness and freshness. At Niepoort, it is precisely that balance that makes the wine interesting to explore both now and in the future.
Niepoort is known for seeking a balance between concentration and freshness. That makes his Vintage Ports ideal for long bottle aging. The wine doesn’t have to reveal everything right away: a solid structure of tannins and acidity can slowly open up as the years go by.
The aroma features black currants, blackberries, and cherries, along with violets, cocoa, and spices. The flavor can be rich and concentrated, while a fresh undertone adds a touch of vibrancy. In a matured bottle, the tannins are often better integrated with the fruit, making the various elements feel more like a single, cohesive whole.
If you’re opening a 2007, you can gently decant the wine and then observe it in the glass. The aroma may change with a little air, bringing out not only the fruit but also the more developed nuances. A well-stored bottle can also continue to age; the exact development always depends on how it was stored.
