Noval 10 Years Tawny Port Douro
A masterfully aged port, embodying the craftsmanship and tradition of one of Portugal’s most esteemed port houses, Quinta do Noval. This 10-year-old tawny port ages in oak casks, developing a rich, complex character with a perfect balance of fruit, spice, and wood.
The first impression is a warm amber color with a golden rim, hinting at the richness within. On the nose, layers of dried apricots, toasted walnuts, and butterscotch emerge, complemented by delicate vanilla and subtle oak aromas. The palate is smooth and velvety, delivering a luscious medley of caramelized figs, roasted almonds, and orange peel, with a touch of warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The extended aging in wood imparts a refined complexity, while the finish is long, elegant, and slightly nutty, leaving a lingering sweetness with a whisper of oak.
Noval 10 Years Tawny Port Douro is an exceptional choice for those who appreciate sophisticated aged ports. Best served slightly chilled, it pairs beautifully with crème brûlée, pecan pie, or blue cheese. It also shines as a luxurious after-dinner drink, offering a moment of indulgence with every sip.
With its rich heritage and craftsmanship, Noval 10 Years Tawny exemplifies aged Portuguese port, making it a must-have for connoisseurs.
