Quinta do Noval Vintage 2000 is a mature vintage Port from the Douro Valley. The nose exhibits an intense profile of black cherry, ripe plum and dark chocolate, underscored by hints of cured tobacco and earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, presenting flavours of bramble, fig and subtle spice. Quinta do Noval has a distinguished history, dating back to the 18th century as one of the pioneering producers in the Douro Valley region. This vintage can offer even greater complexity with careful cellaring, revealing layers over time for discerning drinkers.
96 Robert Parker
The 2000 Quinta Do Noval Vintage 96 is much stricter on the nose compared to the 1997 with very pure blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry fruit mixed with cigar box and flinty scents. It does not quite have the presence of the 1997 but it has focus and breeding and, wow, leave it aside for several minutes and it repays you with intoxicating candied orange peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied, rounded and sensual on the entry with mint, orange peel, fig skin and white pepper. This is a sensational millennial Noval with the temerity to surpass the Nacional. Drink 2015-2040. Tasted January 2014. - Neal Martin
94 Vinous
Saturated black ruby to the rim. Sappy aromas of black cherry, minerals and roasted nuts. Wonderfully concentrated, very sweet, silky and suave; like an elixir of dark berries. As it opened in the glass, the superb underlying structure became obvious. Finishes with big, building, extremely fine tannins and superb length and grip.
