1966 Quinta do Noval
Bottled by Berry Brothers. A lovely burnished red colour; 50% opaque. Cherries and floral esteva perfume on the nose. Smooth, sweet and beautifully fragranced om the palate, although there is a dry edge to the profile - fragrant with a little cedar. Cedar and bitter-sweet cranberries on the finish. A very decent length without being particularly impressive. Overall, this is a very nice Port. 90/100. Tasted 25-Jul-22. Decanted 10 hours.
