Quinta do Noval

Twenty Year Old Tawny Porto

Another memorable Port drunk at my 70th Birthday last weekend following the 1982 Reynella. This was not as full bodied as the Reynella tawny in colour. A top quality Tawny Port from the famous house of Quinta do Noval. Notes of toffee and walnut - quite sweet on the medium bodied + palate. Very savoury. Slightly preferred the Reynella for its full bodied flavour. The Quinta was more elegant. — 2 years ago

The Australian Dozen 1987 Vintage Port 1982

We drank this at the end of my 70th with Montecristo No. 4s. I have always believed that Chateau Reynella make the best Vintage Port in Australia having consumed them over many decades going back to the early 1970’s. It threw a huge crust on decanting. Rich dried plum and liquorice notes. A consistency of engine oil - heavy in the mouth with an intensity off the charts. Just brilliant at 40 years old. — 2 years ago

Basket Pressed McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

Exceptionally good Shiraz. The soft tannins and full mouthfeel back up the strong plum and dark chocolate aroma. It keeps on giving after it has been swallowed with a lingering oak wood finish that kept me coming back for more. Would definitely buy again. — 5 years ago

Nice notes of toffee, rum raisin and cinnamon sugar pastry (kind of a sticky bun). A tasty glass to wrap up an evening. — 9 years ago

Attention Delectable.
This is the 1971 vintage of arguably Australia's best performed Vintage Port.
This was drunk yesterday with a group.
Stunning fortified. Sooty and tarry with lashings of liquorice on nose and palate.
Great fullness of fruit on palate even at this age.
Privileged to have a 43 year old wine at its peak. 19.

You have just jogged my memory; there is one of these, different vintage, around my cellar. Amazing old style Australian fortified. Older they are the better-made so sweet they have dried out by now.
