Quinta do Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port NV

Luscious and rich blend of warm spices, sweet and acidic notes, and a hint of nutty depth, this 1980 vintage tawny is a true masterpiece.

Truly unique and amazing wine moment awaits in the Quinta Do Noval port house on the Douro in Porto, Portugal. The layered aromas of dried fruit, honey, vanilla, and spice are expertly graceful by a vibrant acidity that cuts through the sweetness, making it a truly drinkable wine. The zest is so refreshing that it's almost as if the wine is begging to be consumed, and I must admit that I did so with great haste. I would highly recommend this wine to anyone looking for a truly special and pleasurable experience.

Rich, opulent finale to a hectic weekend, Quinta do Noval's 20-year-old tawny is a masterclass in opulence. Its woody, spicy character is tempered by a boozy, decadent quality, evoking the warm, comforting scents of Christmas cake. The mouthfeel is a layered tapestry of dried fruit, nutmeg, and spices, with a satisfying, earthy undertone. A Barbaresco tasting may have left it feeling a bit rough around the edges, but this wine is undeniably gratifying and utterly delightful.
