critic/Winery Review: Quinta do Noval Black Port is dark ruby in color with
enticing aromas of black raspberry and lilacs. Rich and full-bodied, it offers
bright acidity against flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, plum and chocolate.
It tantalizes the palate on the lingering finish. Link to Review
My Review: From
listening to the sommelier who chose this port, they crafted this wine to cater
to the younger pallet and can be sipped by the glass full. With that being said, I definitely became
more interested in tasting this port.
The smell was very traditional port with hints of chocolate overcome but
alcohol. The taste was fine to put it
nicely. I just can’t get past the cough
syrup taste that come with port. It was definitely
a dark cherry flavor but I am just not a fan of port and this didn’t change my
mind about it.
