A medium-bodied,10-year-old tawny with candied-plum, light chocolate and toffee character. It’s medium-bodied and medium-sweet with pretty intensity and focus of fruit and old wood. Drink or hold.

This 10-year-old tawny port has received notable reviews from several respected wine critics. Mark Squires of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 91, describing it as "a lovely 10 Year Tawny, elegant in the mid-palate, but complex, precise and focused." Squires noted that the wine has a bit of a bite on the finish, which lends it length and flavor. He also mentioned that the wine shows more power and intensity of old-tawny flavor than typically seen in a 10-year-old. Squires suggests serving it at around 56 degrees Fahrenheit for the best experience.

Decanter magazine gave this tawny port an excellent score of 94, highlighting its aging process in small 550L old oak casks in Niepoort’s cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia. The review describes the wine as "svelte," with "detail and an appetising, salty edge to its dried plum, pear, apricot and candied citrus palate." The complexity is further enhanced by hints of chinato herbs, iodine, walnut, and cassia bark, culminating in an "elegant, uplifting finish."

James Suckling also rated this wine highly, giving it a score of 94. He noted its medium-bodied nature and "candied-plum, light chocolate, and toffee character." Suckling emphasized its pretty intensity and focus of fruit and old wood, recommending it for immediate consumption or holding for future enjoyment.

Overall, the NV Niepoort Tawny Port 10 Year Old is a well-regarded wine that has garnered praise for its complexity, precise flavors, and balanced finish. It stands out in its category, making it a fine choice for enthusiasts of aged tawny port.
