Notiz zum Wein: Vertente Tinto / 2007

Quelle: The Wine Advocate (UK) - 187/2010
Überzeugt durch sein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis: ›Vertente Tinto 2007‹ von Niepoort (06.03.2010)

In der Februarausgabe Nr. 187 von Robert Parkers »The Wine Advocate « finden sich 66 Verkostungsnotizen zu portugiesischen Weinen. Zu den dort von Mark Squires vorgestellten Weinen gehört auch Niepoorts ›Vertente Tinto 2007 ‹. Für den Roten aus der D.O.C. Douro gab es 89/100 Punkten. Im Original schreibt Squires folgendes:

„The 2007 Vertente is a typical Douro blend aged 18 months in French oak. It is another Niepoort old vines product, with the blend of vineyards and vines ranging from 17-70 years. It is a lovely Vertente this year, sunny and charming, graceful, yet gripping, with some oaky nuances around the edges. Its elegance will make it a gracious guest, and it is at a pretty good price point in Niepoort’s lineup. Its finish is average, there is not a lot of mid-palate concentration, and it did start to thin noticeably after being open an hour or two, but it will be a pleasure to drink for short to mid-term consumption. There were 3,165 cases produced, of which 250 were imported. Drink now-2017.”
