NV Quinta do Noval Black

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Mid red tone, 80% opaque. Gentle stewed nose, softly fruity. Fruity impact with soft strawberries and gentle lemon juice. Gentle tannins on the edge of the palate and persistent strawberry. Sweet and slightly jammy with a woody overtone on the long finish. This is soft, round and elegant drinking. 85/100. 04-May-16
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
