1934 Quinta do Noval

[Alex Bridgeman]

Deep brown colour, with a red hint in the centre; 90% opaque. Attractive on the nose, with floral tones and mint over faint fruit. Concentrated entry and an attractive texture. Big levels of acidity on the palate, full of concentrated orange zest. With patience, the palate keeps growing, the fruit keeps concentrating and the acidity keeps adding new layers of spiciness. The acidity is quite pronounced on the aftertaste and preceeds a huge, fruity and sweet finish. An amazing port. 98/100. Drunk 15 October 2011.
