Niepoort, Vintage Vintage:2007 The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo

The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture

there is just another dimension present here

red and dark cherry and a whiff of plum liqueur

especially when you add in the mature mouth feel and taste

Grown on white volcanic ash soil

Niepoort, Vintage Vintage:2007 The 2001 Sorì San LorenzoRuby 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
