The 1997 vintage spent more than two decades maturing in old oak at Quinta do Noval’s lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, emerging as an exceptionally elegant and refined expression of aged Tawny Port. The nose reveals dried fig, orange peel and raisin layered alongside walnut, caramel, tobacco leaf, espresso and warming spice, giving the wine remarkable aromatic depth and sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-full bodied with silky texture and extraordinary balance between sweetness, acidity and oxidative complexity. Layers of roasted nuts, toffee, dried fruit and citrus marmalade unfold with saline freshness and subtle spice, finishing exceptionally long, mellow and beautifully persistent with remarkable precision and elegance. The extended cask ageing has softened the wine completely while preserving freshness and energy, giving it both richness and remarkable lift. Quinta do Noval’s style emphasises purity and finesse rather than sheer heaviness, making the 1997 particularly graceful and harmonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Quinta do Noval Tawny Port Colheita 1997 is a world-class aged Tawny Port — complex, silky and beautifully refined with extraordinary depth and balance.
