I always found it interesting that the Anglo/American port lovers tend to focus on vintage (ruby) ports while for the Portuguese the top Portos tend to be old tawnies or colheitas. In Portuguese restaurants with good wine lists there will often be fine tawnies on offer BTG, but seldom much in the way of vintage/LBV. I would occasionally have a glass of an older colhieta at a restaurant (the oldest probably being the '53 Dalva white) as it is crazy expensive to buy a whole bottle. For me, something like a 10 year Kopke hits a nice sweet spot in QPR.
After looking at the Niepoort website, I do think it would be a good idea for the OP to contact them to get some info on their wine. They even have some notes on a 1900 colheita on their site!.
