Quinta do Noval 2015 Vintage Port

75cl

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2015 is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão. The grapes were trodden by foot in lagares to obtain the must, then during fermentation for extraction. Following the addition of spirit, the Port was matured for 18 months in wooden casks in the airconditioned cellars of the Quinta.

2015 was a truly excellent vintage but was quickly followed by the slightly more impressive 2016 vintage. As most Port producers have only declared for 2016 this leaves some bargains to be picked up from the 2015 harvest where Noval were one of just a handful of producers to declare a vintage for both.

Fact Sheet
Additional Information Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2015 perfectly articulates the power and high quality of this vintage. It is more flamboyant, fuller and darker in hue and fruit profile than its predecessors (2012-2014), yet retains a lovely freshness and persistence. It reveals coal-edged fleshy black cherry, almondy cherry stone (almost a marzipan note on day 3), juicy blackberry, sweet raspberry and heady kirsch, with bitter chocolate nuances. Initially with violets, then pronounced citrus/orange blossom/bergamot, even a sweet cinnamon note.

Awards and/or Press Quotes
James Suckling Exquisite aromas of blackberry, stone, violet and blueberry. Lead pencil too. Ink. Full body, chewy and linear with super polished yet intense tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Classic Noval character through a direct punch to the palate. This needs at least until 2022 to open but already excellent. 95 points.’
