2003 Quinta do Noval vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red colour, solid rim, opaque centre. Lovely nose, so full of orange blossom but with a tone of minerality included. Soft and silky texture; surprisingly fruit forward still with lovely baby fat and great ripe tannins. A delicious, delightful finish that fades away gently. Still not closed down and still very approachable. 91/100. Drunk 13 October 2011.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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