1974 Quinta do Noval Colheita

Another very slightly fogged tawny glass.

Very pleasant nose, but nothing in particular to note.

Medium body, very smooth, and nicely "medium rich" in the mouth. It's more elegant than the K66 or the MYC, but is also slightly lacking in their presence.

I gave it a star, which in my notation means it could have won another flight but was just up against too stiff of competition in this one.

uh oh ... Glenn has given a rating ... of a star!

This is always a very nice Colheita and my only usual issue is that it can show a bit too much heat. I liked this bottle though.
