<div class ="floatright"><img src='/wp-content/Quinta_do_noval_special_reserve.jpg' alt='Quinta do Noval Special Reserve' /></div>
<p><strong><em>Technical Data:</em></strong>Made from 3 Portuguese Grapes, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz ( = Tempranillo) and Touriga Francesca. Grapes trodden by foot and aged in traditional large oak vats called &#8220;Lagares&#8221;, aged 4 years.</p>
<p><strong><em>Description:</em></strong>Deep purple color, with a wild spicy nose and ripe fruits well married with woody notes. The full and silky tannins express the essence of its terroir. A rich and full-bodied wine with great charm and finesse. Intense fruity bouquet with a rich, elegant, well-balanced palate, a smooth velvety tannic structure and a powerful, intense finish.</p>
<p><strong><em>Food Pairing &#038; Service:</em></strong>It is delicious with a variety of cheeses &#038; desserts, particularly chocolate. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, this port does not need to be decanted.</p>
<p><strong><em>Score:</em></strong>9/10</p>
<p><strong><em>Suggested Retail Price:</em></strong>?</p>

This Non-Vintage <strong>Late Bottled or LB</strong> ( vintage character) Port is an impressive one, it possesses fabulous cherry and berry fruity flavors, a smooth texture with a nice touch of spice and smoky chocolate character just by the end of the palate. Dense, rich, concentrated, this is an excellent value in high quality port. A full-bodied one yet round and well-structured with a long lasting elegant finish.</p>
