Critics reviews

Richard Mayson 99/100
Like the rest of Quinta do Noval, the Nacional parcel ripened early in 2020 and was harvested in one day on 17th September. Deepest inky crimson-black colour; sullen and dense on the nose but with underlying opulence; fantastic depth and concentration, nothing raw about this despite its youth. Broad, ripe, gravelly tannins, focused with glorious spice and richness. Big and broad on the finish but with remarkable freshness and finesse for a hot year. A ‘wow’ of a wine with a lifetime or more in bottle ahead.Drink 2043 - 2100Richard Mayson, Decanter.com (June 2022)

James Suckling 99/100
A solid and energetic Nacional that has hints of greatness. Full and tight with darkness and depth. Very minerally and creamy tannins with intensity and length. You look for a slightly stemmy and green character in a great vintage Port. 115 cases made.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (June 2022)
