Rezensionen & Bewertungen
97 Robert Parker
The 2017 Vintage Port is a field blend, mostly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão and Sousão, aged for 18 months in old wood vats. It comes in with 99 grams of residual sugar. This was bottled in May 2019, about a month before tasting, but I made sure at least some of it had a lot of air. Aromatic, wonderfully fragrant and laced with eucalyptus, this then shows typical Noval focus and power. A couple of hours in a glass simply increased the power. More intense than the very fine 2016, it grips the palate and shows rather significant astringency. As wonderfully aromatic as this is, there the 2016 might have the edge. Too closed and muscular once past the aromatics, this rather dry Port needs some time. It is harder to read than the 2016 was, but this should overtake it in time. Have some patience with this one.

Big grip in this wine with dark blackberries, blueberries and floral notes. Fine tannins. Ripe but sweet and pretty. Shows a lovely finish. Try after 2027.

Quinta Do Noval
Von Quinta do Noval stammt der berühmteste aller Vintage Ports: der Naçional. Die Wurzeln dieser Gutskellerei reichen bis ins 17. Jahrhundert, und was die Reblausplage im späten 19. Jahrhundert betrifft, so gelang es diesem Haus erstaunlicherweise, die portugiesischen Rebstöcke zu behalten, anstatt sie auf amerikanische zu pfropfen, daher der einzigartige “Naçional”-Wein. Heute, unter Leitung von Christian Seely von der Versicherungsgesellschaft AXA – Millésimes, ist Quinta do Noval ebenso erfolgreich wie die in demselben Besitz befindlichen Bordelaiser Châteaux, etwa Pichon-Longueville. Ideal gelegen im Herzen des Douro-Tals, ist Quinta do Noval der einzige historische Portweinproduzent, der denselben Namen wie sein Weinberg trägt. Die steilen Hänge sind mit den edlen Rebsorten der Region bestockt, die hier prächtig gedeihen und hochklassige Früchte hervorbringen. Unter dem brillanten technischen Leiter António Agrellos präsentiert sich der Naçional als ein expansiver Portwein, dessen Kraft und Tiefe von den erdigen, würzigen, dunkel-fleischigen portugiesischen Charakteristika umwoben ist, die nach zwanzig oder mehr Jahren Reifezeit verlangen.
