2007 Noval Silval vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red with a solid rim and opaque centre. Mineral dominated nose, over the sweet fruit. The characteristic softness from a Noval wine on entry. The tannins are balanced, but mostly hidden behind the fruit. This is a very fruit driven wine with the acidity gentle but sufficient. Sweet fruit dominates the aftertaste and tannins on the finish. 86/100. Drunk 13 October 2011.
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!
