Nacional- Vintage Port
***98 Points- Extraordinary!***- Robert Parker

***98 Points- Extraordinary!***
Robert Parker Jr. Wine Advocate #107/Oct 1996***

Remarkably, the 1962 Nacional exhibited an even more opaque color than the 1970, as well as exquisite richness and concentration. Massive (but not in the Taylor style), this phenomenally concentrated, complex, still youthful vintage port is a tour de force in winemaking, and one of the greatest, can you believe this, young vintage ports I have ever tasted. This wine needs another 5-10 years to reach full maturity as neither the color nor aromatics reveal much development. It could easily have one-hundred years of longevity. …

Vintage Port

The 1962 Sandeman Vintage Port is a beautifully aged and elegant wine from a quietly successful vintage. While overshadowed by the more widely declared 1963, 1962 yielded some exceptional single-house releases—of which Sandeman’s stands out for its finesse and graceful maturity. Now over 60 years in bottle, this Port offers a deeply rewarding drinking experience for lovers of aged, traditionally styled Vintage Port.

On the nose, the wine is complex and fully mature, offering aromas of dried cherry, fig, and orange peel, intertwined with antique wood, rose petal, and fine cigar tobacco. Subtle oxidative tones bring in notes of walnut, …

Vintage Port
Half Bottle 37.5cl

"Bright tawny with orange flecks, there are whacks of dried fruit and sultanas on the nose, with hints of bitter chocolate and Christmas pudding. The palate is sweet but balanced with a lovely acidity. A fascinating multilayered wine, with the oxidization bringing out maple syrup flavours, coupled with leather and cigar box aromas wrapped around rich dried fruit. Complex, captivating and holding up beautifully." Decanter, Fine Wine Encounter 2009.

The 1960 has a light russet core with deep tawny rim. A lovely soft, mulberry infused nose with a touch of sloes and coca that could do with a tad more delineation. …

Vintage Port

The 1960 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is a graceful and distinguished wine from one of the Douro Valley’s most iconic estates. While 1960 was not as broadly declared as 1963 or 1970, Noval—known for its independence and exceptional vineyard holdings—chose to produce a Vintage Port that has stood the test of time with remarkable finesse. Now over 60 years old, this wine exemplifies mature Port at its most refined.

The nose is expressive and beautifully evolved, with lifted aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, fig, and orange peel. Secondary notes of tobacco leaf, antique wood, and sweet spices—cinnamon and clove—emerge with air, underpinned by a gentle nuttiness and a touch of caramel. …

Vintage Port
Embossed capsule | Unlabelled | Level in Neck

“This wine is a mysterious phenomenon, a magical wine produced in extremely limited quantities and only in a few years each decade. It is the expression of a terroir and confirms something that is for me a deeply held belief. The Nacional is great because of the grapes and where they come from, not because of anything particular that we do. It has a unique personality, an extraordinary intensity and, even after many years of ageing, retains an astonishing youthfulness.” Christian Seely

The terroir: a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera, described as “attached to the soil of the Nation”. …

Vintage port

** 90 Points Wine Spectator **

"A powerhouse port that has been mellowed and opened up by time. Now in its 43rd year, its tannins have softened to reveal dark fruit flavors, herbaceousness and plenty of grip in the finish." Wine Spectator, 2003.

"Masses of rich plums and prunes on the flavour. So rich – such a surprise. Big wine. This is a great Warre and should not be missed whenever it appears."
