Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2018

The 2018 Vintage Port from Quinta do Noval benefited from the very good weather conditions in 2018. Sufficient moisture throughout the grapes' growth phase and plenty of intense sunshine until late summer allowed the grapes to fully ripen. This is reflected, among other things, in the residual sugar content of 100 grams. The fruit aromas are wonderfully clear and distinct. Beautiful blackberry and plum notes pamper the nose. A hint of licorice is the icing on the cake. The 18-month maturation in old wooden barrels has given the Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2018 a stable backbone with a medium structure. On the palate, this port is rich with spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon.Already surprisingly accessible, it certainly still has plenty of potential. The elegant yet deep finish is almost endless. With the 2018, Quinta do Noval once again demonstrates its exceptional ability to vinify special ports.

For the final blend, several carefully selected wines with an average age of ten years are blended together and filtered before bottling.On the nose, the Tawny Port reveals intense aromas of dried fruit, coffee, honey, and caramel.

Penfolds 50 Years Rare Tawny

Die Nase ist lebendig und frisch, intensiv komplex, Aromen von Kirschpudding nahtlos integriert mit Vanille, geröstetem Toffee und dunkler Schokolade. Am Gaumen ist er seidig und saftig mit konzentrierten Aromen von Mokka, Walnüssen, Leder, Schokolade und Fruchttorte. Diese Aromen entwickeln und komplexieren sich zu gesalzenen Pflaumen und herzhaften Gewürzen, die in einem perfekt ausgewogenen Abgang verweilen. Erstaunliche Kraft und Fülle sowie eine großartige Balance machen ihn zu einem wunderbaren Likörwein.Eine der vielen Komponenten, die diesen Wein zu etwas Besonderem machen, ist die Tatsache, dass der Jahrgang 1915 die Basis des ersten Grandfather Fasses bildet. Es hat eine generische Verbindung zu diesem frühesten aufgezeichneten Jahrgang von Penfolds Grandfather Tawny. Dieser Wein reift durchschnittlich fünfzig Jahre in kleinen Holzfässern und ist optimal sofort nach der Freigabe zu trinken.Als Symbol für das Erbe von Penfolds steht dieser 50-jährige Tawny für Zusammenarbeit und gemeinsamen kreativen Ausdruck. Nur 330 Flaschen werden jedes Jahr freigegeben.Was Weinkritiker über diesen Wein schreibenRobert Parker (99 Punkte)„Der NV 50 Year Old Rare Tawny (Series Three) hat eine blasse Tawny-Bernsteinfarbe mit einem grünen Schimmer an den Rändern. Am Gaumen ist er dekadent reich und geschmeidig mit tonnenweise Süße und der Frische, um mit einem episch langen Frucht- und Nussabgang auszubalancieren.“Wine Spectator, James Suckling (98 Punkte)„Eine neue Ergänzung, die sehr stark im Sammelbereich des Penfolds-Sortiments angesiedelt ist, nur 330 Flaschen sollen in einer fortlaufenden jährlichen Serie auf den Markt kommen. Das Können des Weinguts Penfolds im Tawny-Genre ist von Großvater und Urgroßvater gut etabliert und dies ist eine Mischung, die durch diese beiden Weine verbindet. Einige Bestandteile aus dem Jahre 1915 sind in der Mischung, der Gründungskomponente von Grandfather, ebenso enthalten wie Komponenten aus den Jahren 1940 und 1945. Die Tiefe, Frische, Komplexität und Reinheit verbinden sich hier zu einer faszinierenden Wirkung, Schichten von Rancio und sanft karamellisierten gerösteten Nüssen geben Weg zu einem Hauch von Rosinen, verbranntem Toffee und geröstetem Gewürzbrot. Der Gaumen ist unglaublich fokussiert und hell erleuchtet mit kristalliner Säure. Die Süße ist gefühlvoll ausbalanciert, Aromen von getrockneten Pflaumen, Vanille, dunklen gegrillten Nüssen und Mokka verweilen scheinbar endlos. Tiefgreifend.“Das außergewöhnliche FlaschendesignDer angesehene australische Glaskünstler Nick Mount wurde beauftragt, ein Flaschendesign zu kreieren, das seinem Inhalt würdig ist. Die einzigartig gestaltete und individuell gefertigte Flasche wurde gekonnt mundgeblasen und von Hand zusammengesetzt.Die Leidenschaft und das handwerkliche Können des Glasblasens von Hand, die Präzision der handgedrehten Holzstopfen, die aus geschichtsträchtigen Hölzern alter Penfolds-Fässer hergestellt wurden, die mühevollen Stunden des Positionierens und Anbringens jedes Zinnwappens und des Handdrehens jedes Muselet-Drahts: Diese altehrwürdigen handwerklichen Fähigkeiten haben ein wunderschön zugeschnittenes Gefäß für diesen lang ersehnten Tawny geschaffen.
