Quinta do Noval
Vintage Port Blend
Porto, Douro, Portugal
A rainy week that screams for a comforting glass of Port next to the fireplace.
Dark chocolate and violets on the nose, palate is finishing a little hot from the alcohol. Will update and adjust rating as I drink myself through the bottle 🍷🍷
Update: even on day two this had a very tight core of dark chocolate and silky linear tannins. If you have properly stored bottles wait another 8-10 years, this will drink well for decades. 95+

High alcohol for me. Possibly difficult to drink next to the d’Yquem.
