NV Quinta do Noval Tawny 10YO (bottled 2019)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2019. A deep brick red colour; 40% opaque. Soft red fruit on the nose with a nutty undertone. Young red fruit - dried cranberries - on the palate and a good fruit-led aftertaste before a warm toffee finish. Good length. This is a more fruity style of 10YO Tawny than many. Enjoyable. 87/100. Drunk 29-Feb-20. Decanting time N/K.
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!
