97 pts Robert Parker - Incredible nose. Sweet dark fruits but with stern, savoury, spicy earthy notes too. Fresh and bright with a hint of mint. Palate is dense and elegant with lovely sweet fruit. Amazing minty freshness here. Beautifully pure and focused with great fruit purity abd structure.

The Story

QUINTA DO NOVAL NACIONAL

No other vintage port attracts more attention than Quinta do Noval’s Nacional and its collectability can be partly attributed to its tiny production.

Written Notes

Blackish crimson with a little bit of development at the rim. Pretty racy nose with some ethereal character. Then wild and sweet with a note of cumin on the palate. Very different from the regular 2000. Still quite chewy on the end but only after a massive weight of sweet fruit.

VINTAGE PORT NACIONAL 2000 – Black colour with red and violet reflections. Fruity and complex nose with lots of liquorice and blueberry with a strong underlying complexity. The palate shows a fantastic fruity structure, some sweetness and perfectly supporting acidity. Concentrated and long in the aftertaste with a somewhat dry finish. 19Now until 2070

Very dark savoury aromas. Dark elderberry. More bramble than blackcurrant. Very dry and firm and dense. Dry but slides over the palate – even though the tannins are very compact it remains fluid. Leaves your mouth feeling clean even though it is so mouthfilling.
