1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port, Portugal

This port still commands perfect 100 marks from some critics and is at the top of its game. A recent critic described it as follows “And finally the port wine that most would take with them to their desert island. Top marks everywhere. In terms of color, this port is more likely to be from the 1980s: deep dark red with intensive reflections. Perfectly balanced bouquet with a lot of pressure and first notes of malt and honey, but also caramel, cherry, chocolate and coffee. Also intense and complex on the palate with perfectly supporting and integrated tannins and structure, chocolate, malt, coffee, raspberry, black cherry and milk chocolate. Insanely long finish” As Tina Turner put it “simply the best!!!” This is a bottle in very good condition as photographed, the seals and everything are perfectly intact, there is some depression on the cork and staining on the top paper the levels are mid shoulder. It is in good shape for 60 years old.
