Quinta do Noval Nacional 1963 (2 BT)

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
