1987 Quinta do Noval Nacional
Posted: 21:21 Fri 24 Aug 2007
It having been declared an emergency, at 4pm a bottle of Nacional 1987 was decanted. The cork was only slightly damper than dry, and emerged in one piece with my preferred screwpull.

Wine:
D+0: an even red, perhaps with the slightest hint of pink: a port approaching the plateau. Lovely nose, with lots of fruit—something exotic and red. To taste hot and sharp. Alcohol, pepper, acid. And something that could be strawberry.
