Description and Reviews:
A classic vintage from one of Portugal’s most revered estates, the 1985 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is rare and meaningful present for anyone born in or celebrating the year 1985. Crafted by a house renowned for its exceptional single quinta ports, this bottle delivers both pedigree and pleasure.
Tasting Notes: Now at peak maturity, this port shows a rich garnet hue with an elegant nose of dried figs, plum compote, cedarwood, and subtle spices. The palate is beautifully evolved, with a velvety texture, dark chocolate and cherry liqueur flavours, and a long, warming finish. A true example of how well vintage port can age when made with skill and care. Drink now-2035+.
Serving and Food pairing: Vintage Ports are best decanted and served slightly below modern room temperature: 16° to 18° C. Pair this port with fine blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, or simply enjoy it on its own by the fire.
Quinta do Noval is one of the most historic port houses in the Douro Valley, with records dating back to 1715. Renowned for its terroir-driven approach, it produces some of the world’s most distinguished vintage ports. Noval is especially famous for bottling wines exclusively from its own estate—a rarity in the region.
