Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage 1997 Port

€ 2,400.00

Concentrated aromas of crushed blackberry, dark chocolate and black licorice. Full-bodied and medium-sweet, but big and rich. Very velvety and long. Focused and beautiful. So much going on here. Fabulous. A fruit bomb. Yet fresh and seductive. Give it some time. '77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective. Best after 2009. 250 cases made. -JS - Winespectator
