Classic aromas, sweet berry fruits with spice. On the palate flavors of black plum and cherry with nutty cacao and black pepper notes. Long finish, dry soft tannins, balanced acidity ending with mineral tones. Great to drink now.

As the supplier said: either drink it young or drink it in 10 years or more. Today it was vibrant fruity: cherries and currants. Nice layered sweet and sour. A nose that keeps you busy

Young, fruity, sweet, nice freshness. Going to put a few in the cellar. They Will probably can outlive me. But opening a bootle once in a while for celebrations in going to be a party.

Vintage 2017 | Very very good, lovely expression of cherries confiture and great balance. Put in the cellar for grand children’s visits? Not a bad idea.

Vintage 1995 - I do not drink it often, but love older #vintageport This is a real treat with beautiful currants, figs. Even red fruit.

1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port. Bday dinner at Tap. Perfect. Not too sweet, not too rich- balanced.
