Quinta do Noval 2000 Vintage Port (Port)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
One of the vintage’s standouts, the 2000 Quinta do Noval is incredibly rich and intense, with a density that made me think I should reach for a spoon. Chocoate and coffee, prune and date aromas; plum cake flavors. Despite the richness, there is a superb backbone of acidity and ripe tannins that suggests peak maturity is probably two decades or more away.

Quinta do Noval NV 40-year old tawny Port (Port)
- $125
This is a sweet but deliciously mature wine that exudes the richness of its burnt orange flavors, layers of sweet toffee, and clean, hugely rich aftertaste. A great wine. Imported by William Grant & Sons, Inc.

Quinta do Noval 2005 Red (Douro)
- $95
This is not a shy wine. It expresses the heat and ripeness of the Douro fruit. But it also manages to bring in superlative structure and tannins, balancing these with the black plums, very ripe berries and fresh acidity.

Quinta do Noval 2004 Vintage Port (Port)
- $115
With its inky dark color, this is darkly dense, a huge mouthful of black fruits and dark, initially medicinal flavors and firm, concentrated tannins. It will age 20 years at least, but its sweet, ripe fruit suggest it could be drunk much earlier than that.

Quinta do Noval 2004 Red (Douro)
- Editors' Choice
- $95
This is the equivalent of the top wine, or grand vin. It is certainly impressive, and probably needs at least 10 years aging. The dense tannins are powerful, while the plum jam fruits are superripe, yet certainly keeping in balance. A great, ripe wine.

Quinta do Noval 2007 Vintage Port (Port)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Ripe and juicy, a wine that wears its heart on its sleeve. It is perfumed, with the 2007 freshness and a fine layer of nutmeg coming through the blackberry juice flavor. For medium-term aging.

Quinta do Noval 2008 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Although 2008 was not a general vintage, some estates have released vintage Ports. Noval’s Vintage, just bottled at the time of tasting, is a delicate and perfumed wine, elegant rather than powerful, with delicious black berry fruits to go with the rich core of sweet tannins.

Quinta do Noval NV 10-year old tawny Port (Port)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
The legendary Noval has produced a deliciously attractive, light and poised wine, with fresh fruit and acidity. It is dry in style, with some tannins, and a layer of spirit that is well in balance. The aftertaste floats with acidity and fruit.
