Refined and unctuous, with a deep well of molten chocolate. Long finish. -- Non-blind Quinta do Noval Nacional retrospective (February 2011). Best from 2012 through 2032. 200 cases made, 30 cases imported.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinous.com\/wines\/quinta-do-noval-nacional-vintage-port\/2000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+ points Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright medium ruby. Utterly primary aromas of black cherry, licorice and violet are lifted by an impression of almost peppery acidity. Sharply delineated and extremely pure; less thick today than the young 2003 but then this is an infant and superbly balanced for decades of evolution in bottle. Finishes with a high pitch, the tannins spreading out to coat the teeth and the dark fruit flavors reverberating. Far from the richest vintage of the vertical tasting, but this beauty can safely be lost in your cellar for a couple decades. A splendid achievement in the context of the vintage. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStephen Tanzer\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNovember 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eWine Enthusiast Rating - 95 \u003c\/b\u003eOne 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"taster\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Joe Czerwinski\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cellar","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":44468330168433,"sku":"100259","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5407\/6785\/files\/m6znfmn4db8a_4ee17ea1-3785-45b8-a4d7-b6a556babd4f.jpg?v=1788526550","url":"https:\/\/cellar-us.com\/products\/quinta-do-noval-nacional-vintage-port-2000-750ml-e8liey","provider":"CELLAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
