2000 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port

Post by DRT »

From a Port Tasting and Dinner hosted by Christian Seely at Quinta do Noval in October 2006

2000 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port

Closed nose. Fabulously thick and chewy with masses of black fruits. Very long finish but the huge tannins left the lips and mouth very dry. After 1 hour the tannins started to soften and licorice emerged in the finish.
