2007 Quinta do Noval LBV
Bottled 2013. Deep red, youthful and opaque. Gentle on the nose with grassy fruit that shows well. Smooth in texture with sweet fruit leading the firm, dry tannins and giving a nice balance. The dry tannins hold firm on the aftertaste and support a huge dry / sour cherry finish. Very impressive, with a nice mouthfeel and presence. A very young LBV which will reward time in the cellar. 90/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
