From old vines (about 90 years old), it aged for 24 months in French oak, 20% new. It opens with finesse, in a seductive register, but this young red isn't exactly shy. It's also far from ready to drink. As it breathes, the tannins start to show and the wine gains tension. It goes from restrained to powerful in an instant. The mid-palate elegance is always admirable, but the structure says it needs a few more years in the cellar — and it probably won't be at its peak even then. Aromatic, fresh and marked by savoury strawberry notes, this precise red looks like a big winner, but still has something to prove in bottle. This is the first year I've tasted it, so we start here and will follow its development over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker and owner Jorge Moreira said, describing this new vineyard:\u003cbr\u003e\"Since we bought Quinta do Poeira in 2001, we knew we'd have to find another old vineyard.

Oh, my. This wine announces itself as something to be truly appreciated only after at least 40 minutes in the glass. Then it shows pure power, though without astringency. It also has admirable depth. The first pour shows some fruit, some oak and strength, but then the power simply takes over. It's very well made, but note that it's a wine for a collector with a cellar.

Even after a few days open, the wine stayed closed, muscular and concentrated, dominating the palate and never letting go.

Among the great traditional Port houses, Noval is unique in its emphasis on its vineyard. Notably, it's this very vineyard in the Douro valley that gives the company its name, and its main Vintage Ports, Quinta do Noval Nacional and Quinta do Noval, are “single-quinta Vintages”. The aim is to make great classic Vintages that are also harmonious, elegant expressions of the Quinta do Noval “terroir”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product-field product-field-type-S\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple\/black, incredibly pure and concentrated with good depth.
