Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage 2001 Port

€ 770.00

Released in 2017. The most revered and collectable Port in the world, Quinta do Noval Nacional is a Vintage Port produced from a single parcel of un-grafted vines in the Quinta do Noval Estate. Only 250 cases of Nacional are made and these are highly sought after the world over

Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage is always a powerful concentrated wine, but in its youth the 2001 was extremely backward and quite closed up, dense and very tannic. So we have waited some years before releasing the 2001, which is still immensely youthful structured and powerful, but is now just beginning to reveal its enormous future potential. At this stage the nose has begun to open up, revealing magical floral and spicy notes which are a precursor of how the wine will taste in future years when it is fully mature. The tannins are harmonious, powerful and reserved, and there is complex concentrated fruit, with great freshness, thrilling to drink now, but with huge potential to develop by ageing in bottle in years to come
