there is just another dimension present here
it requires another 2-3 years of cellaring
it's closed up pretty tight
especially when you add in the mature mouth feel and taste
being very careful not to dry out the wine
Niepoort, Vintage Vintage:2007 there is just another dimensionRuby purple, a bit more saturated than the Secundum. Brooding aromas of crushed black fruits, licorice and spices. Very ripe, thick and dense, with compelling sweetness of fruit. Bright, integrated acids give this very lush, fleshy, palate coating wine excellent tensile strength. Finishes impressively long and bright, with finely grained, mouthdusting tannins. This has a terrific kernel of fruit and a three dimensional palate feel. Stephen Tanzer
