Noval / Niepoort Dinner, Garrick Club
Quinta do Noval Colheita 1964 ****
Still quite deep, amber-red; closed initially, served very cold, milk chocolate, rich, still quite firm with a touch of peppery spice, rich and structured, very youthful for its age. 16
Niepoort 1970 *****
Mid-deep youthful colour; amazingly youthful tight-knit fruit, perfumed, floral, so much more to give, opening up in the glass; very firm, fine and focused, dark chocolate concentration, very fine indeed. 19
