Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2020
$235.00
“The 2020 Vintage Port from Noval, which was picked from 1 to 22 September, has a residual sugar of 115g/l. It is forward and lively on the nose with macerated black cherries, cassis, raisin and pressed iris flowers. Fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium bodied with an attractive peppery entry. Lively, good depth and density, this is very focussed with impressive structure behind it. Yet there is no heaviness and there is just the right amount of salinity to keep it on its toes on the finish. Exquisite.”
“From an early harvest after a hot summer which produced a small quantity of super-concentrated wines: wonderful inky-crimson colour; closing down on the nose but with underlying ripe plum and berry fruit, almost minty and exotic in its ripeness; made in a deliberately rich style with more residual sugar than normal, dense on the palate with broad ripe, gravelly tannins and a big expansive finish. Still a little raw but with beautiful opulence overall and nothing baked or stewed here, despite the heat and power of the vintage.” 97 points, Richard Mayson, Decanter
“The freshness is unbelievable. The palate comes with its very own brand of elegance: a barely tamed wilderness that speaks of fragrant fruit, captured at a moment of dewy freshness, unnerving in its apparent glory. This is a kind of elixir. Wonderful, bold, elegant, sleek, profound – and completely delicious.” 99 points, Anne Krebielh, Falstaff.com
