2000 Quinta do Noval Silval Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: Pop 'n' pour - Ex-cellars. Deep red, but starting to change tone; still opaque. Violets and fresh oranges on the nose; very attractive. Soft entry, with plenty of acidity and gentle tannisn to support a good blue berry fruit presence. The tannins are well balanced and not aggressive. The fruit is sweet, ripe and attractive. Very long sweet finish. Drinking well and will improve with more patience. 89 points
