1958 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 5 hours - Wine Society bottled. Burnt sugar in colour and with a watery rim, 20% opaque. Lovely nose, a touch more heat on the nose than the '50 or '55. Soft and gently perfumed, floral and with concentrated orange peel; a bit hot but really opene and inviting. Sweet coating over the palate; lovely flavours, delicious orange zest, very fresh and nicely balanced - even with some tannins shading the teeth. Long and tasty aftertaste and finish, fabulous fruit. Really good and tasty port. 91 points
