Christian Seely just published a great blog post on the exceptional vertical tasting of Quinta do Noval Vintage Nacional held at NYC’s Eleven Madison Park a few weeks ago. Seely writes: “It was a wonderful day, and the wines showed very well. For me, the most satisfying aspect was to observe the similarities of personality between the great wines of the Sixties and those of more recent years. This is a terroir with a very strong and unique identity, and it was a moving experience to be able to taste this across the decades.” Click here to read his full blog post, and check out the video below for a glimpse of this truly memorable tasting!
