Ex-cellars and drunk at lunch with Patricia Bastos on day two of our two night stay at Quinta do Noval.
The first PV vintage. Lovely black cherry nose. Black cherry palate with a backbone of minerality. Clean and pure with so much schist. Delicious, no rush to drink. 91/100.

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!
