Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019

Powerful yet elegant, the 2019 Vintage Port delivers concentrated blackberry, cassis and dark plum with liquorice, chocolate, graphite and subtle eucalyptus. Fine, silky tannins provide impressive structure, while vibrant freshness and a long, focused finish give this exceptional Port significant ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Stilton, aged blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, roasted walnuts, rich berry tarts, or enjoyed slowly on its own.

97 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of dried cherries, blackberries and cassis with dark licorice, chocolate and graphite undertones. Full-bodied, with a ripe and mellow sweetness, and ultra-fine, silky tannins that flow through the palate for minutes. Lots of grip. Such an elegant texture, with great finesse.

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This is a powerful beauty, well justifying Noval's tendency to declare most every year.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

It is such an elegant wine, balancing black fruits against a massive texture for aging. A rich structure gives the wine density and enormous potential.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

This is dense, winey and well-structured, delivering a tarry spine through the core of packed black currant, fig and bramble notes that run in lock-step with mouthwatering licorice snap and spice accents. The great finishing kick leaves an invigorating feel, not easy for Port to do.
