2013 Quinta do Noval

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep magenta with a purple edge. Big and floral on the nose, sweet and full of fruit. Wonderful perfumed fruit on entry with lots of supporting acidity. The tannins are firm and more burly than in the 2012 vintage, and the wine is more complete with power replacing finesse. Lovely port. 94/100. 04-May-16
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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