"(2000) I tasted a barrel sample of this wine a few months before release and thought it was superb, so a nice chance to try it again, especially alongside the '97 Taylor. Opaque black colour. Immediately elegant and classy on the nose with finely-wrought fruit and a sweetness of violet and candied cherry. Massively ripe and concentrated on the palate with superb fruit. The whole picture is clamped by gripping tannins, but there is a great purity of blue/black fruit that is beautifully focused."

"A powerful, almost black-colored Port. It has the richness of the vintage allied to ripe blackberry flavors, and a mineral, tannic structure. Its great fruit makes it almost drinkable now, but aging will add so many more dimensions."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
96 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Niepoort Vintage Port" from the vintage 2007 on 01.07.2011 with 96 of 100 points.
"An impressive, balanced wine from master winemaker Dirk van Niepoort. Chocolate and licorice flavors dominate the fruit, giving a wine that has weight, complexity and at the same time elegance. The tannins offer a dense, dry structure. It is tight, solid and certainly for aging."

yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
97 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Niepoort Vintage Port" from the vintage 2000 with 97 of 100 points.
"A prodigious effort from a small house that's becoming one of the Douro's best. The fruit is massive; huge and inky and filled with blackberries and chocolate. Yet for all its size, it finishes with finesse-filled layers of flavor that fold in mint and black pepper notes."
