2000 Quinta de Noval Colheitas Port

WSI94The Colheitas at Noval are true rarities, all from 100% estate grown grapes, which were trodden by foot and fermented in the lagares at the Quinta. These single-vintage tawnies are available in small quantities in the Douro to begin with; Colheitas from 100% estate-grown fruit are nearly unheard of, and extraordinarily special wines
WE94 A single vintage tawny, this is gorgeously nutty with dried fig and raisin flavors while keeping plenty of freshness and orange zest flavors. The wine is rich, full in the mouth, intense, hinting at the wood in which it was aged and bringing in spice and pepper as well as more aromatic fruits. Like all tawnies, it is ready to drink.
WA92 The 2000 Colheita Port is a Tawny bottled in 2015. This young Tawny is gorgeous and punches just a bit above its weight. Showing more complexity than many at this age, it has fine concentration of flavor on the finish. There’s enough acidity to pound in that flavor and it finishes with some intensity, too. This is very tasty and a lovely new release whose flavor will make you drool.
