2005 Quinta do Noval Colheita (bottled 2020)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2020. Warm toffee-red colour, 50% opaque. A hint of VA on the nutty nose of dried figs. Smooth entry bringing mature dried fruit. A lovely structure with a nice fresh acidity. Wonderful long red toffee finish and an enjoyable aniseed length. Very good Port. 91/100. Drunk 29-Feb-20. Decanting time N/K.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
