2011 Quinta do Noval
Muted nose, showing only a little red pepper. Ripe fruit on the palate, nicely rounded before a wave of powerful tannins arrive and grab the attention. There is a lovely purity to the fruit with some truffle complexity. The finish is good, fruity and full of dark chocolate. A good port, but lacking some of the depth of the star ports from this vintage. 92-94. Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
