2003 Quinta do Noval

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red with a narrow rim. Sweet fruit on the nose, a lovely strawberry. The sweet fruit comes through on the first impact on the palate before powerful tannins grab the mid-palate and hold on with vigour! Sweet fruit aftertaste and a huge finish. This port has huge levels of fruit and great balance but needs decades in the cellar to become tamed. 95/100. Tasted 02-Mar-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!
