A fresh, fruity and soft New Age port wine with a round finale in a typical Noval style. This young and new style can compete with all LBVs and Reserves, aromas of plum, peach and raspberry jam. First introduced in 2010 by Quinta do Noval. The specially designed bottle is striking, modern yet timeless, and reflects the unique character of Noval Black. It is simply the most beautiful port bottle we ever have seen
