1976 Quinta do Noval Colheita (bottled 2017)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2017. A deep amber colour with a lovely nose of warm almond biscuits. Sweet and smooth with lots of tobacco and a great dose of acidity that shows mainly on the aftertaste. The palate is thick and sweet, very lively with lots of lime and tobacco. The aftertaste is big and full of oranges and sweet honey. 05-Dec-17. Decanted 2 hours.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
