  1. Well, the weather outside is frightful (2 to 4 inches coming in my area)! A good Port in a storm, right? I have ideas on that. 🍷

    Mostly a blend of the Tourigas (Nacional and Franca), this elegant unfiltered LBV revels in finesse. There's a touch of sugar (about 90 grams), but it seems drier as it airs out (30 min) and more powerful. Most of all, it's refined and precise, a fine Port. Delicious & superb, too.

    Bottled 2015 with a long cork. Under $30. #wine #port #portugal #noval

  2. Mature yet surprisingly fresh, this elegant old 1997 Noval LBV is in fine form. Textured with caressing velvet, it still has a firm finish, precision and tasty fruit. Over several days, it stayed just great and even improved. It's a winner even now, 25+ years on. #port #winesofportugal #noval #wine
