Robert Parker, 97 Points: The 2019 Vintage Port is a field mix aged for 18 months in old wooden vats. It was bottled on May 4, 2021, and has 100 grams of residual sugar. It was only in bottle a little over two months when it was tasted, but it looks pretty bright nonetheless. Very concentrated, it adds controlled power and coats the palate. Proven with some other Ports of 2019, this one certainly stood out for both concentration and power. It touches all the bases in terms of fruit and expressive structure, finishing dry and seriously. It seemed balanced enough to drink young, but that would be a mistake. On the one hand, it tightened tightly as it aired out. It also presented more and more beautiful eucalyptus aromatics. Two days later, it was noticeably more astringent. Four days later, I was very firm in the finish and better in general. In fact, it was a much better show than on the first day. This is clearly built for the long haul. I wouldn't expect anything less from a good Noval Vintage Port. He also became more concentrated and precise. This needs the rest of this decade, at least, in the basement to show itself better. Then it will develop well for decades and will remain indefinite. Frankly, it won't show you everything you have, even in 10 years where I have the "start drinking" window, so if you have a lot more patience, that would be helpful. It will be more interesting around 2035-2040. This is a powerful beauty, justifying well Noval's tendency to declare a majority every year. Produced from grapes from Quinta dos Muros on the eastern slope of the Pinhão river valley, where the Touriga Nacional exposed to the south finds the ideal conditions to provide all the structure and complexity in addition to the black and ripe fruit, and where the Tinta Roriz, with West exposure, lends acidity and aromatic freshness to this Vintage. Thus, after vinification in lagares and vats, we obtain a retinto Port with an attractive violet and exuberant and fresh aroma of fruits such as blackberry and plum. On the palate, it is initially velvety, well balanced, but soon all the serious character appears where the tannins show their claw, helped by a beautiful acidity that leaves a long and powerful aftertaste! A serious, fresh and balanced port as only the Pinhão Valley knows how to produce! This lot consists of: 2 x Quinta do Noval vintage 2019 2 x Quinta dos Muros vintage 2018 1 Taylors LBV 2010
