2003 Quinta do Noval Porto Late Bottled Vintage

[Stewart T.]

• 2003 Quinta do Noval Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (1/20/2023)
  Unfiltered. Dusty ruby in color. On the nose there are notes of peanut brittle, savory wood, “new” cardboard, and perhaps just a touch of VA. The odd nose, however, didn’t detract from the rich, full-bodied palate of luscious cranberry, red fruit, and blueberry. The approach has great structure and balance. It has a very long finish with dark fruits, chocolate, and subtle spice, but the sweetness fades on the tail end of the finish and resolves into a drier style of wine. (92 pts.)
