NV Quinta do Noval Tawny 40YO

Post by g-man »

NV Noval 40 year old tawny
Btw what's the standard naming convention for our tawny notes?

yr? Year? year? with or without the old?

Garnet with a touch of brown throughout.

The nose reminds me of freshly grated orange peels with hints of nutmeg and sherry.

A surprisingly heavy body with notes of a fine malmsey madeira. Brown sugared cranberries, lemon drop round out a very smooth body showing no signs of heat at all.

92.
