I had this last year at New Year eve. Don't hesite to buy one and if you have it in your hand drink it. This is amazing stuff! I'll try to find if I wrote any notes on this. The 1974 Colheita from Noval is also amazing!!

Tried it once at a tasting, and it is very good. Didn't buy it because the '74 (poured at the same tasting) blew it away... for only a couple of € more, that was a definite buy!

Rico,

In the mid-1990s I had purchased a pair of these and drank them both by the end of the decade. I have vague impressions of this being a nice and gentle wine but remember a hot streak on the finish, in both cases. I'd pass on them too.
