New Vintage Port in the Flickinger Fine Wines inventory http://www.flickingerwines.com/wineregions/vintageport.asp FTLOP 95 (10/2005): I got a kick when one of the guys in our group guessed a '1931 Nacional' and I kept my nose and eyes in the glass. I was not sure if this was a VP from the 19th century or an old Colheita, as the tertiary nuances were excellent. I am glad I have some in the cellar! Raisins and butterscotch with a backdrop of hazelnuts delivered a scintillating nose that was even better than the gorgeous palate. The liquid caramel and pralines on the palate were quite fine and the finish was awesome and complex but only medium in length. Great juice!WA 92 (10/1996): One of the wines Quinta do Noval produces that was never exploited by previous importers are their Colheitas, which are essentially single vintage Tawny ports that are kept in barrel until the winery is ready to sell them. These impressive wines are one-hundred percent from the vintage shown on the bottle. Considering their ages, they are reasonably priced. The 1937 Colheita was superb, with its high alcohol amazingly well-covered by the wine's flesh and richness. The medium amber color was representative of its age. The huge nose of orange marmalade, jammy cherries, tobacco, smoke, and white chocolate was followed by a dense, rich, drier style of single vintage tawny that was full-bodied, rich, and spicy. This wine was a thrill to drink.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/QuintadoNoval.aspFTLOP 95 (10/2005): I got a kick when one of the guys in our group guessed a '1931 Nacional' and I kept my nose and eyes in the glass.
