Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port (750ml)
Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port (750ml)
Deep amber with copper highlights, the Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port offers an intricate and graceful nose of dried fig, orange zest, roasted hazelnut, and almond brittle, layered with hints of spice box, polished wood, and subtle vanilla. A blend of meticulously selected wines aged in oak for an average of two decades, it showcases the balance between maturity and freshness that defines the Noval style. The palate is satin-textured and nuanced, unfolding flavours of toffee, date, candied citrus, and toasted almond over a core of refined acidity and gentle sweetness. The finish is long, elegant, and savoury, with lingering impressions of spice, walnut, and warm, oxidative complexity.

A chip off the (40-year-old) block, Quinta do Noval's 20-year-old has excellent structure and drive. Together with the fresh acidity, heady yet controlled Cognac-like spirit harmoniously buoys its orange peel, dried apricot, honey and marzipan flavours. Saline, café crème notes and a woody walnut timbre lend a balancing savouriness to the long and precise finish.
