2018 Vintage Port Quinta do Noval The release of this wineSuckling: This has an attractive nose with fresh dark berries, grilled herbs, chocolate and wet stones. Hints of kirsch, too. Full bodied with moderate sweetness and an array of fine, marble polished tannins. Lively, almost crunchy dark fruit character with so much finesse and delicacy. Long finish. Its attractive now, but better after 2026.
