Reviews:The inky, purple-colored, opaque 2003 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port soars from the glass, revealing dates, black cherries, copious flowers, and plums. Full-bodied, broad, and lush, this top-flight wine is harmonious and exhibits stupendous purity of fruit. Blueberries, cherries, and candied strawberries can be found in its nuanced, lengthy, plum-laced core as well as in its immensely long, dried berry-tinged finish. Drink until 2045+." Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate 2005.

"Deep black, opaque hue. A massive nose of cassis, blueberries and violets that is incredibly intense but with very fine delineation. Very opulent and perfumed. The palate is full-bodied, rich, opulent, velvety smooth with immense purity. Good grip, huge structure and immense length. You could almost describe this as a blockbuster port, but it is more than that thanks to its balance and delineation. Sheer exuberance." NEil Martin, Wine Journal 2007
