Quinta do Noval, Nacional--Vintage 1963
Corroded capsules. Badly bin-soiled and damaged labels with vintage illegible on four bottles. Levels: seven base of neck or better, three top and two upper-shoulder. In carton
Tasting Note: As different as night and day: vastly more superior in depth, weight and character than the standard Noval. An enormous, spicy wine with great length. My highest mark at a tasting of 12 Nacional Vintages in 1994. Most recently, deep, still beautiful; rich, whiff of vanilla; sweet, with tremendous bite and concentration. A bottle from Noval last tasted Feb 2005 **(***) Great wine. Infinite life. M.B.
