A chip off the (40-year-old) block, Quinta do Noval’s 20-year-old has excellent structure and drive. Together with the fresh acidity, heady yet controlled Cognac-like spirit harmoniously buoys its orange peel, dried apricot, honey and marzipan flavours. Saline, café crème notes and a woody walnut timbre lend a balancing savouriness to the long and precise finish. 117.5g/L of residual sugar.
