1997 Quinta do Noval Silval

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Mid red and showing some evolution. Slightly tanky on the nose. Restrained entry, lots of sweetness but the tannins dominate the fruit; not well balanced at the moment. Shows promise but needs more time. 86/100. Tasted at the BFT on 24 April 2013.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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