Description
Quinta do Noval Nacional 1963
Scuffed and damp stained labels, slightly scuffed and wrinkled capsules embossed with "Noval 1963 Nacional," Christie's Handwritten Label reads "Quinta do Noval Nacional--1963"
Still very dark in colour. Bouquet of great intensity - inky, mineral roses. Massive and with more tannin and acidity than the 1966. Great thick plummy taste, velvet textured. Sumptuous fruit. Coffee and mineral finish, with a touch of chocolate. Real bite and backbone. Utterly satisfying and deep. Will last for ever. Nirvana. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
