“Tasted with some other 2019s, this certainly stood out for both concentration and power. It touches all the bases in terms of expressive fruit and structure, finishing dry and seriously. It seemed balanced enough to drink young, but that would be a mistake. For one thing, it steadily tightened as it aired out. It also increasingly showed gorgeous eucalyptus-laced aromatics. This is plainly built for the long haul. I would expect nothing less from a fine Noval Vintage Port. This is a powerful beauty, well justifying Noval's tendency to declare most every year.”
