December 25, 2023 - Merry Christmas everyone! We’ve come close to a close of another year. While the kids have their presents, the adults can indulge.
NA Quinta do Noval 10 year old Tawny Port: Deep copper. Growing up in South East Asia, the notes reminds me of a typical traditional medicine store with umeshu (梅酒 Japanese liqueur made by steeping unripe ume plums in liqueur and sugar), and dried monk fruit (Lo Hon Guo / 羅漢果), dried herbs, wood, and underlying nuts, and dried fruits. Rich, spicy, sweet but not cloyingly, and oily.
Paired with 18 months aged Comte cheese, and aged Rum fruit cake.
💭 Joyeux Noël à tous ! Nous approchons de la fin d’une autre année. Pendant que les enfants reçoivent leurs cadeaux, les adultes peuvent se faire plaisir.
Porto Tawny NA Quinta do Noval 10 ans : Cuivre profond. Ayant grandi en Asie du Sud-Est, les notes me rappellent un magasin de médecine traditionnelle typique avec de l'umeshu (liqueur japonaise 梅酒 obtenue en trempant des prunes ume non mûres dans de la liqueur et du sucre) et des fruits de moine séchés (Lo Hon Guo / 羅漢果), des herbes séchées, le bois, les noix sous-jacentes et les fruits secs. Riche, épicé, sucré mais pas écoeurant et gras.
Accompagné de fromage Comte affiné 18 mois et d'un gâteau aux fruits au Rhum vieilli.
Cheers, Yum Seng, 干杯, 乾杯, 건배 , Prost, Santé, Salute, Salud, Saúde! 🍷

November 21, 2023 - Beautiful color shifting towards brick-red, immediately on the nose, a myriad of intoxicating aromas is released, elevated by the wine's significant alcohol content. Mature dark fruit, in jam form, hints of spices, cinnamon, anise, a touch of peach blossom. Fragrant noble wood, almost medicinal iodine notes. In the mouth, it is alcoholic and sweet, with tremendous persistence and refreshed by a lovely acidity. We should all drink more port...
Bellissimo colore che volge al mattonato, subito al naso si sprigiona una miriade di profumi inebrianti, portati in alto dalla grande potenza alcolica di questo vino. Frutta scura matura, in confettura, note di spezie, cannella, anice, un sentore di fiore di pesco. Legno nobile profumato, note iodate quasi medicinali. In bocca è alcolico e dolce, di grandissima persistenza e rifrescato da una bella acidità. Dovremmo tutti bere più porto...1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 16, 2023 - This is a lovely port, bursting with figs, pipe tobacco and finishing off with a long fruity exuberance. Surprisingly more mature than a Ruby.
