Nacional is a Vintage Port produced only in selected years from a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera. The 2011 will almost certainly be seen as a modern-day legend. It has received a perfect 100-point score from both Neal Martin and Mark Squires in The Wine Advocate with a projected drinking window of 2045-2080.

It has been a little while since I tasted the 2011 Nacional Vintage Port. Maybe like the 2011 Noval, perhaps I was expecting a bit more. It just misses a bit of sparkle and precision on the nose compared to more recent vintages. The palate is where it's at: wonderful viscous entry, layers of cassis and black plum fruit, blood orange and allspice. Hedonistic and ravishing, it explodes on the finish, yet the aromatics must be going through an adolescent phase. I stand by my view that this is a formidable Nacional that just requires time. Tasted at the Quinta do Noval tasting at Spring restaurant in London.Neal Martin1st November 2022
