Wine Expert Note:

This vintage Port from Quinta do Noval is an exceptional example of a Nacional. On the nose, there are notes of dark cherry, plum, and fig, complemented by subtle hints of spice and anise. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a persistent finish. The flavors of ripe dark fruits, cocoa, and roasted coffee are balanced with a refined acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant, lingering warmth. A wonderfully complex and age-worthy vintage, this is a must-have for any Port lover.
