The 2003 Quinta do Noval’s Vintage Nacional shows superbly today with a deep, complex bouquet and aromas of lavender, black berries, spices, and blueberries. Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, it’s perfectly balanced and seamless, finishing with a long, precise, tense, and mineral aftertaste. It could reach the optimum score with a minimum of 20 years of ageing.

Rich and spicy, laden with dark fruits. There's a strap of licorice that weaves through the flavour profile. It is creamy and layered showing awesome power and excellent balance. Spirit is clean with a floral edge and length imposing.

Look at that colour, you'd never guess it was 15 years old
Remarkable fragrance on the nose, floral, fennel, pungent
On the palate it's very open and expressive, floral, aromatic, then layers of fruit, dark fruit, plums, tannins still there but they are very open and ripe.
Long and complex. Absolutely stunning. Very very young but already showing so well.

Portuguese Masterclass with Christian Seely (67 Pall Mall): Incredible deep rich palate that needs more time. Wow
