2012 Quinta do Noval LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2017. A lovely rose red colour, very light in tone; 60% opaque. Delicious sweet red fruit on the nose. Sweet fruit on the palate, elegant and smooth and fragrant. Balanced by the soft tannins giving a sweet and lovely palate, leading to a fragrant violet finish. Very enjoyable. 88/100. 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.
