Tasting notes
Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port 10 Year Old
A deliciously crisp, fresh style, with intense fruit. A perfect expression of the Noval Tawny style. It has acquired the classical attributes of an old Tawny Port, while at the same time retaining much of the freshness and fruit of its youth.
Noval 10 year old Tawny is a blend of old Ports from different vintages that have matured all their life in oak casks, with an average age of 10 years.
