Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV 40 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2016 with a bar-top cork and 169 grams per liter of residual sugar. The back label talks of 'freshness,' which seems odd for a 40 Year Old, but Noval delivers all that and more here. The concentrated flavor burst on the lively finish shows touches of molasses and this is far more intense than the other Noval tawnies this issue on all fronts. However, its calling card is not intensity, but its amazingly youthful and fresh demeanor. The lift to the fruit gives this an irresistibly juicy finish, letting all those flavors linger beautifully. It is smooth, sensual and impeccably balanced, never obvious. This is quite fine.

Description
Quinta do Noval Old Tawny 40 years represents the memory and history of Quinta do Noval over the last four decades.
Winemaking
The grape varieties used for its production are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Sousón and Tinta Roriz. Vinification is carried out using a traditional process: the grapes are trodden by foot and fermented in the Quinta's traditional presses, thus guaranteeing the best extraction of their flavours and aromas.
This wine is the result of a dedicated selection and elaboration, which has allowed it to reach an exceptional concentration. This concentration is due, to a large extent, to its slow evaporation during 40 years in direct contact with the wood, which has allowed its aromatic range to develop in an extraordinary way.
Flavour
Quinta do Noval Old Tawny 40 years is distinguished by its richness and complexity. The ageing process in oak barrels gives the wine notes of dried fruits, noble woods and spices, which are intertwined with subtle nuances of ripe fruits and oxidative touches, providing an unparalleled sensory experience.
