The red wine Batuta Tinto Douro DOC, vintage 1999 from the winery Niepoort has been rated in 2003 with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Douro in Portugal.
Deep dark ruby, very delicate purple rim, in its youth the wine was totally accessible, now it has become somewhat closed again. Very fine cocoa texture, trace elements of white truffle, notes of perfect oak, calm, delicate soft fruit, like a broad river, incredibly nuanced, dark fruit, fine bitter chocolate, subtle smoked bacon in the background, cough syrup. Enormous concentration on the palate, wonderful extract sweetness, superlative tannin, has incredible tension and length, enormous certain ageing potential. A wine like a chameleon that offers you new elements every few minutes. (sold out).
