Unlike many producers Quinta do Noval's twenty year old Tawny is crafted entirely with fruit from their Estate vineyards and accordingly it's a huge step up from their other NV releases.
Noval make a very elegant style of Port, smooth, silky and ethereal in texture with freshness and a long fine finish verging on dry.
This elegance should not be mistaken for a lack of power, this is an extremely complex and powerful wine, aged with care and in a perfect spot for drinking.
Toffee, nuts, creme brulee, tea leaf, cinnamon and walnut all overlay a rich fig core, an exceptional example of a classic style.
