Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port 10 years
HK$ 419.77
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV 10 Year Old Tawny was bottled in 2016 with a bar-top cork and 106 grams per liter of residual sugar. Medium in body--well, it's a 10, not a 40--this has fine freshness and perfect balance. The juicy, delicious finish is irresistible and has more intensity of flavor than most 10 Year Olds. Although I tend to look first for freshness in this category, it is also nice to find some complexity and intensity of flavor, too, as here. This is nicely done. This showed way better at 58 degrees Fahrenheit than it did at 70.

Description
Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port 10 years is a perfect expression of the Noval Tawny style. Throughout its maturation, it has acquired the classic attributes of an old Tawny Port, but at the same time it has managed to retain much of the freshness and fruit of its youth. This balance of maturity and vitality is what sets it apart and makes it an exceptional choice for those seeking excellence in a Tawny Port.
Winemaking
The grape varieties that make up this wine are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Sousón and Tinta Roriz. These grapes are foot trodden and fermented in the traditional presses of the Quinta, a process that guarantees the best extraction of their flavours and aromas. The final product is a blend of old Portos from different vintages, which have matured in oak barrels. As its name suggests, it has an average age of 10 years, which gives it a depth and complexity that can only be achieved with time.
Taste
Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port 10 years has a beautiful Old Tawny colour, recognisable by its brilliance. Among its complex aromas, the young and very lively fruit is highlighted and harmoniously combined with attractive and typical nutty aromas, such as hazelnut. On the palate, it is rich and smooth, offering an elegant structure and a long, lingering finish.
