Quinta do Noval - Vintage Port 2011 (750ml)
Quinta do Noval Description
THE SUPREME EXPRESSION
OF THE TERROIR OF QUINTA DO NOVAL
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is characterized by its purity of fruit and a fine and delicate quality that is typical of the wines of the property in general but which finds its most remarkable and enduring expression in the Vintage Ports. Equilibrium, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize our great Vintage Ports, which are declared only in great years (3 or 4 years in a decade) and only when the wines come up to Noval’s exacting standards.
Even then, the wines selected for the Quinta do Noval Vintage Port blend represent only a small proportion of our total production.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
Vibrant, with luscious yet elegant mineral-infused flavors of dark currant, ripe cherry, green fig and raspberry. Shows ample pepper notes, with the tannins offering plenty of muscle and grip on the long, silky finish. Complex and restrained. Best from 2022 through 2047.
