For The Love Of Port

Decant: 4½ hours - Slightly lighter in colour than the regular Noval shown alongside this Nacional, but still with a dark red/brown core and lots of coffee on the nose. Elegant entry with a sweet orange syrup and a thick texture that gets thicker the longer you hold it in your mouth. Redcurrants and cloves, nutmeg and raspberries. Lond and fabulous aftertaste - which is the typical Nacional signature for me, no-one else seems to get the same aftertaste as a Nacional does. This is a port that will hold for many years and may even improve over the next decade or so. 9/9 on Uncle Tom's scale. 96 points
