2007 Quinta do Noval, Port, Portugal

Description

The 2007 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is a star of the vintage. Dense purple-colored, it gives up an already complex aromatic array of lavender, Asian spices, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits with a hint of chocolate in the background. Plush and mouth-filling, this large-scaled Port manages an uncanny blending of elegance and power. Long and savory in the finish, it will continue to blossom for another 20+ years and drink well through its 50th birthday if not longer.

The Noval showed a wonderfully rich volume of intensely pure fruit – I’d venture to say it was the most pure and refined of any 2007 I have tasted. Its mass of fruit was followed up with evident tannins – a richer style than some, almost showy, but with an exciting future ahead.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 18/20
One of the darkest of the 2007s. Limpid and luscious-looking, Very sweet and ripe with some spice - cinnamon? All-enveloping and one of the sleekest and smoothest in terms of texture. The acid and then tannins creep in on the finish but this is a bit of a standout in terms of its dry energetic finish. This gives the impression of polished leather - not one of the sweetest on the finish. A palate scrub of a wine. Distinctive. jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com – May 09)

Impressive aromas of crushed blackberry, mineral and dried flowers. Intense and deep. Full-bodied, very sweet and dense on the palate, with big, round tannins and a long finish. james_suckling– Wine Spectator – May 09)

One of Oporto’s famous names, Quinta do Noval decided not to produce its flagship Nacional bottling in the 2007 vintage. The two Ports it has chosen to release are first class in their own distinctive styles. (Jay Miller - erobertparker_com - Feb 2010)
