Quinta do Noval 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:44 pm
Really red color for a tawny, but I've made this comment now for many 10 year olds, so maybe I need to revisit my standard. Fresh acidity in the aroma with some fruit. Warm and fruity in the mouth makes this a nice 10, better than many other 10s on this trip (DR, Pacheca, but not S. Leonardo), and maybe top 1/2 of 10s I've had in general. But it isn't too exciting either. Flavors of fruity caramel and fruit roll-up. 90 points.
