TN: 2003 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:14 am
Decant: Just Opened - Purple edge, opaquely deep colour. Typical blueberry nose but slightly more closed compared to the Silval 2003 and with a nice touch of mint. Thick texture, very fruity entry with blueberries dominating the initial mid-palate. Great complexity, then tannins start to appear but are never dominant or aggressive. Tannins also drive the slightly short aftertaste. 94 points
