Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage Port NV

Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage Port is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with flavors of ripe fruit, spices, and chocolate. While some appreciate its balanced sweetness and smooth finish, others find the alcohol overpowering. It pairs well with cheeses and is noted for its aging potential. The wine's complexity and elegance make it a favorite among port enthusiasts, despite occasional criticism of excessive sweetness.

This unfiltered LBV is a stunning expression of the Noval style, showcasing the elegance and complexity of the noble grape varieties from the Quinta. A deep ruby color with violet hues, it reveals aromas of ripe black fruits, licorice, chocolate and spice. On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with layers of flavors that evolve and linger. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, balanced by a refreshing acidity and a long, harmonious finish. Aged in old oak casks, this LBV has the structure and depth of a Vintage Port, but is ready to enjoy now or cellar for further development.
