Quinta do Noval Vintage Port, Portugal 2018 skus_4045144 savory and meaty mouthfulWhile this vintage was not generally declared as such by the major Port houses, it has produced some very fine wines. This wine, still very young, is dry in style, full of black cherry and spice flavors along with intense acidity. The spirit is not fully integrated yet, but that will come. It is certainly for long term aging, so wait to drink until 2028.
