The recently declared Quinta do Noval 2011 Nacional was given an astonishing 100 point score by James Suckling! Suckling’s tasting notes were as follows, “This is an amazing young Port: deep and powerful, subtle and refined. Full body, lightly sweet with big chewy tannins that are polished and sexy. Amazingly well-crafted. Lasts for minutes on the finish. Fantastic. The legend lives. Could be better than the perfect 1994 and equal to to the 1963. 220 cases produced of this foot-trodden wine from ungrafted vines.”
