The winter of 1997 started
somewhat inauspiciously with traces of
snow.
Though February and March
proved to be the reverse. Both warm and dry.
Low rainfall and high
temperatures led toearly flowering. The return of rain in April and
May replenished vital
water reserves and slowed down the hither to rather precocious growth.
Fine, hot weather continued
throughout the maturation period with enough rain to enhance
the balance ofwhat was
a very high quality, intensely concentrated harvest.
The Niepoort 1997 displays
the immense concentration,
colour and aromas to
ultimately be judged as one of the
finest Vintage
Ports ever to be produced. It is with the utmost
confidence that I commend
this remarkable wine to you.
The Quinta do Passadouro
has sheer richness of intense fruit, supported by a rigidly
firm tannic structure
which will mature for decades. It simply offers immense pleasure.
