TN: 1966 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 6 hours - Lighter in colour than the 1967 shown alongside, showing a distinct barley-sugar rim. More open on the nose than the 1967, revealing golden sultanas soaked in lemon juice, steeped with an amazing all spice - absolutely delicious and inviting. Warm and spicy in flavour; mature, sweet and a fabulous middle-age maturity and immense complexity - and stunning late-developing tangerines. Big aftertaste, thick and delicious, which coats the mouth and stays for ages. Simply scrumptious. A fabulous and fantastic wine - one to seek out and drink, but no need to hurry. 96 points
