1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red colour, almost as dark as the Noval 1931 shown alongside. Sour cherries on the nose. Exquisite entry, smooth and silky while also dry and tannic. A lovely core of ripe acidity and just massive in the mouth with huge levels of fruit and such amazing complexity. Just as huge and massive an aftertaste. Truly a phenomenal port. 100/100. Drunk 29 June 2009.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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