2000 Quinta do Noval Colheita (bottled 2023)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

An ex-cellars bottle drunk at Quinta do Noval with Carlos Agrellos and Patricia Bastos at dinner on the second night of our two night stay.

Bottled 2023: almond biscuit nose, a hint of orange marmalade. Smooth entry, orange marmalade with a huge bitterness and powerful acidity that just fills the mouth. Massive aftertaste of bitter orange and marmalade. Long, finish. A really big wine. 92/100. Drunk 21-Jun-23. Decanted 1½ hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
