Post by g-man »

400$ for a Noval Nacional worthwhile?

Broadbent liked it, but he was also quite positive about the regular N85, which has otherwise had a fairly lukewarm press.

As a US retail price, $400 is about right, but not a huge bargain. I'd want some provenance before shelling out.

I can't say any better than Tom. I'd be looking to shave the price down by about $50-100 if I could.

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!
