Description

Owned by French conglomerate AXA, there’s always a dash of Gallic flair in Noval’s exceptional Vintage Ports, and the 2017 looks to be another sensational wine. Unflustered, no elements leap out on tasting; it takes its own time to reveal a superb array of firm fruits with hints of herbs and tobacco, before reaching its zenith. Beautifully balanced, suave, chic and classy, this is a triumph for this wonderful estate which continues to thrive under the management of that most urbane Englishman, Christian Seely. Drink 2032-2052.

About this wine

Touriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a highly regarded grape variety indigenous to Portugal, often considered the country's flagship red grape. Known for its intense aromas and flavours, the wines typically feature dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with distinctive floral notes like violets and hints of spices, herbs, and chocolate. These generally have high tannin levels, good acidity, and deep, dark colour, contributing to their structure and ageing potential.
