"Dating back to 1715, Quinta do Noval is one of the major historic Port houses, reknowned for its great Vintage Ports and fine old Tawny Ports. Inky dark with impressive aromas of crushed blackberries, bitter chocolate, spices and pretty floral notes. Intense and deep, this full-bodied sipper is very sweet and dense on the palate, with big, round tannins and a long finish. This saturates the entire palate with black fruit and spice flavors. Showing nicely now, this beauty can age nicely for another 15 years." -Derek Brammer, Surdyk's Wine Consultant
