The nose offers a heavenly mix of exotic citrus fruits with a floral touch

Reductive notes of charcoal smoke and flint beautifully supported by stone fruit

Quinta do Noval, Vintage Port 2007 Hetszolo plum along with vanilla andParticularly bright dark crimson. Dry herbs and undergrowth almost that wild garlic smell. Then massive freshness and sweetness on the palate that doesnt exactly match but promises well for the future. Massive tannins and a dry finish. Extremely vigorous. Lots of fun, sappy flavour and energy. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (18)
