Quinta do Noval is one of the most venerated names in the Douro Valley and is renowned for producing exceptional fortified wines characterised by incredible purity of fruit, finesse and elegance. The 2016 vintage in the Douro was generally deemed of sensational quality and this is a fine release of Noval suitable for long-term ageing with its wonderful concentration, structure and vibrancy. Drink 2026-2075.
The 2016 Vintage Port was picked mainly from 19 September in ideal conditions. It is more broody than the 2017 at the moment and demands a little more encouragement from the glass. I have been prudent with my reviews in the past, but this 2016 seems to have considerably improved in the four years since I last encountered it. More earthy in style, it offers lovely dusky black fruit, sage, a touch of menthol and star anis, unfolding in the glass with each swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety entry. Superb tension here, the acidity cuts through the richness of this Port with effortless ease. Linear, poised and mineral-driven, Vintage Port gets little better than this. Tasted at the Quinta do Noval tasting at Spring restaurant in London.
