TN: 1958 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 24 hours - Deep centre, pale orange rim. Very similar to the NN '64. Dusty nose with tones of lemon juice and almond paste mixed in. Leather in the mouth with lots of liquorice and aniseed and a lovely complexity developing if you just hold the wine on your tongue for a while. The aftertaste takes a while to arrive but eventually delivers a surge of burnt sugar and a long length of spicy chocolates. A very mature wine with lots of tertiary flavours. Holding well. 93 points
