Niepoort Niepoort Redoma Tinto 2019 750ml

The 2019 Redoma comes from 70-year-old vines overlooking the Douro River, a blend of Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cào aged for 22 months in used wooden barrels. This is elegant on the nose, more floral than the Batuta. Morello cherries commingling with fireside hearth, camphor and light gravelly scents remind me of Pessac- Léognan. The palate is slightly more structured than expected, clean and delineated, focused with a dash of allspice and sage towards the finish that lingers tenderly in the mouth. The 2019 is deceptively approachable, yet it has enough substance to age well for over two decades. 23,000 bottles produced.<br/><br/>
