2008 Quinta do Noval - NOT a TN
I had very high expectations, yet they were not quite met. The 2007 is significantly rounder and better balanced with greater concentration too. Although this is still a good DOC wine, it is not a great Noval LBV. It will be interesting to see how this unfurls over the next few years, as even with extended decanting it remained a bit reticent.
