2001 Quinta do Noval Silval

Post by DRT »

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.
