Quinta Do Noval Vintage Port 2003

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2003 - Douro Valley, Portugal

A powerful yet polished vintage from one of the Douro’s most iconic estates. The warm 2003 season produced a deeply concentrated Port, and Noval’s expression is rich with black cherry, cassis and plum compote layered over violets, cocoa and warm spice. The palate is full and structured, flowing with dark fruit, chocolate and liquorice, supported by firm but refined tannins. Despite its depth, there’s a vibrant thread of acidity that lifts the wine and carries it into a long, harmonious, elegantly sweet finish. Still youthful, still building complexity, and unmistakably Noval.

*Please be aware that with all vintage ports (and older wines), the natural corks may crumble if using a regular corkscrew. Please use proper uncorking tools and exercise caution.  Sediment will settle in the bottle over time, therefore decanting the port prior to serving will remove this deposit. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you require further assistance or advice.
