2000 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port

(97 Points) --  (Wine Spectator)

This is flat-out flush with gorgeous fruit pinned to a spine of dark earth. Starts with lush cassis, plum cake and boysenberry pâte de fruit flavors pumping through before a second load of anise, menthol, fruitcake and bramble kicks in mid-way. Then the tarry, earthy edge asserts itself, harnessing everything on the finish. (JM, Web-2021)  Review Date: 03/2021
