Tasting Notes:  Deep purple ruby colour. Pungent aromatic nose of black woodland fruit, dark cherry and plum with some balsamic herbal scents and a hint of exotic wood. Lovely clean, crisp freshness to the bouquet. The palate is rounded, smooth and...

#14 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018 Nearly half the Warre’s 2016 is made up of old, mixed vines from both Cavadinha and Retiro. In sections of these vineyards, as many as 30 to 40 different varieties are planted together, and at Retiro they are...

Dow’s is known for producing ports of intensity and focus from their two quintas, Bomfim and Ribeira. In 2016, these two parcels came together to create a wine with effusive black fruit, obvious minerality and floral undertones; finishing with...

Winemaker's Note:A powerhouse of a wine with fresh, dark fruit aromas, rounded off with some lovely esteva (rockrose) and violets fragrance. Taught and muscular in the mouth with good grip from the schist tannins. Long and intense with superb structure...

Wine Spectator: 95 Points  Now we are talking. Wow. Aromas of licorice, flowers and crushed blackberries. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with lovely smooth, fine tannins and a long, sweet fruit finish. Greatest young Vintage Port of Smith...

Wine Enthusiast 96 Points:An impressive, balanced wine from master winemaker Dirk van Niepoort. Chocolate and licorice flavors dominate the fruit, giving a wine that has weight, complexity and at the same time elegance. The tannins offer a dense, dry...

Winemaker Note:Elegance, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize Noval's greatest Vintage Ports, which are declared only in great years (3 or 4 in a decade) and only when the wines come up to Noval's exacting standards. The wine is produced...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97 Points  The 2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional has a show-stopping bouquet that is cut from a completely different cloth than the 2004 Vintage. This is far more extravagant and decadent, with kirsch, camphor, incense and...
