NV Quinta do Noval Tawny 10YO (bottled 2016)
Posted: 21:43 Sun 16 Apr 2017
Bottled 2016. A mature brick red colour, 30% opaque. Little showing on the nose. Rather empty initially on the palate; then a little coffee and caramel infused with lavender. Modest acidity and some tannins hiding in the coffee leads to an aftertaste of milk coffe and a long finish of bitter-sweet kumquat in with the coffee. Disappointing. 81/100. Drunk 01-Mar-17.
