The 2007 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is a star of the vintage. Dense purple-colored, it gives up an already complex aromatic array of lavender, Asian spices, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits with a hint of chocolate in the background. Plush and mouth-filling, this large-scaled Port manages an uncanny blending of elegance and power. Long and savory in the finish, it will continue to blossom for another 20+ years and drink well through its 50th birthday if not longer.94 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateWinery Notes:The weather in 2007 was nicely balanced between rainfall in the spring and slightly cool summer nights. This gave our Vintage port an expression of very pure fruit and remarkable elegance, finesse and balance. The wines high level of acidity also points to its great ageing potential.Very fresh, intense delicate fruit, lovely balance, very long. Full in mouth but delicate at the same time. Good depth and volume.Antnio Agrellos, Technical Director May 2013
