100 Robert Parker
The 2017 Vintage Port Nacional is a field blend, mostly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz, aged for 18 months in old wood. It comes in at 99 grams of residual sugar and was bottled about a month before this tasting after 18 months in wooden vats. In 2016, I might've made an argument that the regular Noval was better. In this vintage, this seems to be a clear choice, granting that Ports change constantly in their youth. Its siblings at all levels in the last few vintages are very fine, but this is an indisputable benchmark that seems to better them all. Rich and vibrant, this has plenty of stuffing and flavor, more than the regular Noval. Then, it adds layer after layer of power. A couple of hours of air makes both the flavors and tannins more intense. It is simply gripping—yet also remarkably fresh. It's a great Noval, and one of the shortlist candidates for "Wine of the Vintage." There were 200 cases produced.

Such fine tannins and it goes on and on and on. Full-bodied, compact and very fine. Sweet plums and old-vine, bark character. Lasts for minutes. Feels dry.

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.
