The port Quinta do Noval, vintage 2018 from the winery Quinta do Noval has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal.
The opaque ruby colour is glossy and dense in the glass. The first sniff already confirms much ripeness with hints of plump, almost baked plum. Subtle overtones reveal a touch of florality. The palate is fresher than expected, with juicy, ripe, fragrant plum that has a lovely edge of saltiness, of savoury soy, of vivid cinnamon spice and seemingly the riches of the Orient. What a bold, vivid, rich and layered wine. The tannins are palpable but so ripe that they will melt into purest velvet. This is layered and exuberant, vivid and bold, generous and rich - and very long. Outstanding.
