98 Points. 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.

Description
Created from a blend of mostly Touriga Nacional but also Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão & Sousão, this Vintage Port was then aged for 18 months in old wood. 2016 was a year of extremes in terms of climatic conditions, which have resulted in a Port with outstanding quality. Fresh, structured and very aromatic.
