Rezensionen & Bewertungen
97 Wine Spectator
A solid, dense and even slightly chunky Port, with baker's chocolate, black currant and plum reduction and licorice root notes mixed together and then backed by a Black Forest cake accent through the grippy finish. There is a lot going on here, and this is among the more backward wines of the vintage. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz. Best from 2038 through 2060. 1,055 cases made.

The 2020 Vintage Port is a field blend aged for 18 months in old wood vats. It was bottled April 2, 2022, and has 115 grams of residual sugar. There is almost no Touriga Franca in the blend this year, the winery saying the heat in 2020 damaged the grapes. The rest works well, but it's a bit different. This is sexier and softer than the typical Noval, utterly delicious, sweeter and ripe. The tannic backbone is far less impressive, but there is some. As always, the color is dramatic, a dark purple. This probably won't be the Noval with the highest upside or the longest life, but it will certainly be one of the ones that is hardest to resist on the younger side. For the moment, let's start here. You can dive in early on this. If it has more potential, it will need to show that in the cellar.

Quinta Do Noval
Von Quinta do Noval stammt der berühmteste aller Vintage Ports: der Naçional. Die Wurzeln dieser Gutskellerei reichen bis ins 17. Jahrhundert, und was die Reblausplage im späten 19. Jahrhundert betrifft, so gelang es diesem Haus erstaunlicherweise, die portugiesischen Rebstöcke zu behalten, anstatt sie auf amerikanische zu pfropfen, daher der einzigartige “Naçional”-Wein. Heute, unter Leitung von Christian Seely von der Versicherungsgesellschaft AXA – Millésimes, ist Quinta do Noval ebenso erfolgreich wie die in demselben Besitz befindlichen Bordelaiser Châteaux, etwa Pichon-Longueville. Ideal gelegen im Herzen des Douro-Tals, ist Quinta do Noval der einzige historische Portweinproduzent, der denselben Namen wie sein Weinberg trägt. Die steilen Hänge sind mit den edlen Rebsorten der Region bestockt, die hier prächtig gedeihen und hochklassige Früchte hervorbringen. Unter dem brillanten technischen Leiter António Agrellos präsentiert sich der Naçional als ein expansiver Portwein, dessen Kraft und Tiefe von den erdigen, würzigen, dunkel-fleischigen portugiesischen Charakteristika umwoben ist, die nach zwanzig oder mehr Jahren Reifezeit verlangen.
