Courtesy of Andy V. Decanted for approximately 30 minutes before being drunk. Bottled 2006. Pale honey colour centre with a pale green rim. Fragrant and floral nose, slightly alcoholic, with lovely honey and lemon tones. Sweet entry with clover honey showing everywhere. Huge lemon juice acidity with quince slices floating in it. The aftertaste is strong, clear and dominating with a lovely creme brulee vanilla and caramalised sugar flavoured length. A very fine colheita. 91/100. Drunk 10/2/08.

I'm so happy you posted this -- as vintage 74 myself, I picked up a Noval Col 74 in Lisbon but had only seen poor scores for it. This gives me hope; I wonder what another 17 years will do for it...

A very fine colheita indeed, and a personal favorite. A pity that it's now sold out at the shop where they sold it for a ridiculously good price (about 35 euro).
