Quinta Do Noval Vintage Port 2016 & 20172016 Critical acclaim: 98 points James Suckling This is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao. Buy. Better in 2025. 98 points Wine SpectatorThis is distinctive from the start, with a youthfully rambunctious display of dark currant, fig and blackberry fruit paste flavors

it still has finesse

It’s playful yet purposeful

more powerful bass notes that take a moment to reveal themselves

8 and a mellow 4

A Morgon built for patience and food

$125 Club — The Champagne Club

Purple sunsets happen in Willamette

Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a fragrant

Medium-bodied on the palate and fresh

And then you won’t ever prejudge another wine again

Now to the background:

and mineral character
