Pale straw yellow with green flecks

baked apple and orange blossoms add intrigue

which will still clearly improve with further ageing

Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port - 2000 (750ml) Certified B Corp — Christina PickardOne of the vintage's standouts, the 2000 Quinta do Noval is incredibly rich and intense, with a density that made me think I should reach for a spoon. Chocoate and coffee, prune and date aromas; plum cake flavors. Despite the richness, there is a superb backbone of acidity and ripe tannins that suggests peak maturity is probably two decades or more away. Joe Czerwinski Wine Enthusiast Rating 95
