  Dusty carob, dark coco powder, and finely ground light roast coffee beans, baking spices, fruit pollen, incense, desert fruits (dates, figs), dried fruits (prunes and Turkish apricot, loam, and metallic ores. Strikingly harmonious, deftly balanced. An incredible bottle, fully resolved. Drink soon. 93-94.

  Acquired directly in Porto after a tasting at Quinta do Noval back in June 2023. I pulled the cork with an Ah-so and that still did not save the cork from crumbling badly - used a Vinturi to catch the cork pieces. Overall, this was what I remembered from Porto with chocolate, black plum, dried prune, and a bit of heat overtaking the fruit. About a coffee cup full of sediment. Nothing magical but likewise nothing out of place. A relatively good bottle.
