Nope. Can't do it - too young and impossible for me to detect anything meaningful.

2003 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port
From a Port Tasting and Dinner hosted by Christian Seely at Quinta do Noval in October 2006
2003 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port
Black. Thick and chocolatey with a slight bitterness and then very very dry. This is way too young for my taste but it seems to have a big future ahead of it.

2003 Quinta do Noval Silval
From a Port Tasting and Dinner hosted by Christian Seely at Quinta do Noval in October 2006
2003 Noval Silval Vintage Port
Closed nose. A decent thick texture with lots of fruit and bitter chocolate. Spoiled for me by a hot finish.

2002 Quinta do Noval Silval
From a Port Tasting and Dinner hosted by Christian Seely at Quinta do Noval in October 2006
2002 Noval Silval Vintage Port
Spicy nose. Weak entry. There's fruit in there somewhere but overall the wine is quite bitter. Big dry tannic finish.

2001 Quinta do Noval Silval
From a Port Tasting and Dinner hosted by Christian Seely at Quinta do Noval in October 2006
2001 Noval Silval Vintage Port
Nice open nose. Lovely weight and fruit forward. This seemed almost drinkable now until the tannins emerged. A slight minty taste in the finish which ended up quite bitter.

A little more fruit on the nose than the Nacional from the same vintage. Very smooth and chewy texture but soon becomes very dry and tannic.

2000 Noval Silval Vintage Port
Deep colour. Closed nose with a little heat. Very smooth and thick entry. Starts off as a fruit bomb but the tannins took over to develop a long dry finish.

A pronounce young VP taste. A big chewy fruit bomb that should be left alone.
