Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2015

''Exquisite aromas of blackberry, stoney minerals, violet and blueberry. Full body with super polished yet intense tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Classic Noval character through a direct punch to the palate.'' 95 Points, James Suckling

''This has an elegant mid-palate and subtle demeanour—but Noval always seems to me to emphasize mid-palate finesse. Then, there are the gloriously fresh flavors of the vintage, a year that produced fine intensity of flavor. Strongly aromatic, it also has hints of eucalyptus and citrus.  The finish is long and jam-packed with delicious fruit, while the purity of that fruit is remarkable. Admittedly, it is wonderfully delicious now.'' 95 Points, Mark Squires, Wine Advocate Magazine

''Noval, one of the showpiece estates of the Douro. This wine gives a fine reflection of what is, in fact, a great vintage. It is impressive, ripe with generous black fruits and a fine balance between the rich structure and fruit.'' 95 Points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

''The 2015 Vintage Port is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão and Sousão, all from the estate, that spent 18 months in barrel. This full-bodied, rich, opulent effort offers textbook plum and raisined fruits with loads of candied black olives, orange rind, and spice. Despite its richness and depth, it’s surprisingly fresh and lively, with integrated acidity, sensational purity of fruit, and a brilliant sense of elegance. It will keep for decades.'' 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

''Great concentration and structure here. There’s a wonderful floral blackcurrant jam and black cherry nose, which leads to a sweet, dense palate of blackberries, spice, cherries and plums, with a warm spiciness adding complexity and grippy tannins, cloaked by the sweetness and fruit intensity. Showing lovely fruit, this is a beautiful Port that should age fabulously. Lovely stuff.'' 95 Points, Jamie Goode The Wine Anorak
