Wine Advocate (98)The 2021 Coche has to be one of the finest white wines from Portugal that I've tasted. It was produced with grapes grown at 600 meters in altitude, from very old vineyards with the right field blend with a majority of Rabigato but also other local varieties. It has a fine and elegant reductive character with flinty notes, hints of smoke and dry herbs. This is sharp and super tasty, with an almost salty twist in the finish. It fermented and matured in French oak barrels (mostly 228-liter ones) for one year. It's serious, nuanced, a little austere and vertical, with a dry finish, a chalky sensation and very good persistence. It has 11.8% alcohol, a pH of 3.26 and 5.8 grams of acidity. I've drunk all the vintages of Coche since the first year (2010), and this is the finest to date. Bravo. 9,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023. |

Wine Advocate (97)The just-bottled 2023 Coche, their grand cru, comes from two or three vineyards in the zone of Murça. It is more austere and cooler, produced like the Redoma Reserva but in specific barrels from specific forest and toast, 30% of them new. It underwent full malolactic and one year of élevage in these barrels, stabilized by keeping it four months in stainless steel. It was singing when I tasted it. It has the serious and reductive character that is a constant here, and it is spicy, smoky and flinty, with notes of cold smoke, dry flowers and herbal tea and a dry, serious and chalky mouthfeel. It reminds me of the great 2021, with austerity, contained ripeness and great precision and purity, pungent and long. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024. |

Wine Advocate (94)The only Douro white from granite soils, the 2023 Tiara is a blend of Rabigato (all whites have a lot of Rabigato, which provides very good acidity), Códega de Larinho, Donzelinho, Cercial and other varieties (perhaps some Alvarinho too) from very old vines at 600 meters in altitude. It fermented and aged in old, neutral oak foudres (1,300 to 2,500 liters) to give it a crystalline and pure character. It has austerity, contained ripeness and a balanced mouthfeel, with the granite granularity and a salty twist. It's surprisingly expressive for its young age, and it feels harmonious even after a very recent bottling. It feels like the 2023s are quite approachable. This is characterful, with a mixture of savory, floral and herbal notes, super tasty and pungent. It has terrific balance and is approachable but should also age. 13,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, perhaps that's why it feels so expressive. |

Decanter (98)A field blend featuring Arinto, Rabigato, Códega de Larinho, Viosinho and others, from vines at least 80 years old planted on schist at 600m in the Douro DOC. It was made (and the grapes were picked) to prioritise freshness, structure and minerality. A pioneer of Douro whites since the mid-nineties, Niepoort’s trademark precision and finesse shines, even in this century’s driest vintage. Sarah Ahmed: Toasty/charry oak and lime oil to nose and palate. Zesty, nutty with leesy complexity and hazelnutty oak. Showing lots of layers already. Nelson Guerreiro: Stone fruit, apple and pear nose with spice and a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied with a waxy side, balanced with a pleasant finish. Joanna Locke MW: Poised, with a strong seam of minerality and mouthwatering acidity. A smart wine with great potential. |

Wine Advocate (95)The white 2023 Redoma Reserva Branco unfurls layers of added complexity tasted next to the Redoma Branco from this same vintage. They use older vines for this, a selection of vineyards from the zone of Murça, a sort of premier cru if you like. It fermented and matured in used and slightly younger barrels for nine months. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol and is spicy, floral and herbal, with notes of green tea and pollen, a smoky twist and a balanced and streamlined palate with fine minerality, fine-grained and with a dry, tasty finish. There are 35,000+ bottles, the biggest crop ever. It was bottled in July 2024. |

As an expert connoisseur of fine wines, I cannot help but extol the virtues of the Niizawa Zankyo Super 7 Junmai Daiginjo NV. Hailing from the Niizawa Brewery in Miyagi, Japan, this splendid spirit embodies a harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity. Crafted meticulously using the ancient Yamahai method, and fermented at freezing temperatures for over a year, the result is a full-bodied Sake with rich complexity. The Super 7 rice grain used, milled down to a mere 7%, reveals intricate, multilayered notes, impressing even the most discerning of palates. The producer, Niizawa Brewery, is highly respected, renowned for its inventive approach whilst honouring traditional techniques, therefore producing Sake of unparalleled quality. Every sip of Niizawa Zankyo Super 7 Junmai Daiginjo NV is a tribute to their craftsmanship. Truly a luxurious experience for sake enthusiasts and novices alike. |

Wine Advocate (87)The 2011 Eisen & Viljoen has a better set of aromatics than the 2012: blackberry, sage and graphite scents, quite reserved but nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe black fruit mixed with blueberry and graphite. Like the 2012, there seems to be just a touch of bitterness on the finish, though not as procounced as the ensuing vintage, but detracting from what could have been a better wine. Re-tasting in South Africa with the owners, unfortunately I found the same thing. There were just 11 barrels produced. |

Wine Advocate (86)The 2012 Eisen & Viljoen has a well defined, quite focused bouquet with blackberry, smoke, cedar and undergrowth scents that have a Left Bank-like flair. The palate is medium-bodied with quite dense black fruit, and is nicely balanced, but I noticed a green note on the finish that knocks over what could have been a fine wine. That's a shame. I would be intrigued to taste another vintage. |
