Critic Notes
Exquisite aromas of blackberry, stone, violet and blueberry. Lead pencil too. Ink. Full body, chewy and linear with super polished yet intense tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Classic Noval character through a direct punch to the palate. This needs at least until 2022 to open but already excellent. Jun 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
Score: 95-/100 James Suckling
This is very polished in feel, with a long, caressing, fine-grained structure that allows plum eau-de-vie, boysenberry puree and blackberry cobbler notes to play out at their leisure. Light anise and ganache hints accent the finish while the fruit blazes through. Aug 2017, www.winespectator.com, Drink: 2030-2045
Score: 95-/100 Wine Spectator Drinking Window: 2030-2045

Vintage Port 2016
Not since 2011 have so many Port houses declared a vintage year. The good news is that the 2016s have been defined by their “purity and refinement” and the universal declaration indicates high quality across the board. The bad news is that production levels are down. For the Symington Family Estates Port houses, including Dow’s, Graham’s and Warre’s, production is ...
June 2013 - Market Report
Demand for the 2011 Ports accelerated in May. Jancis Robinson’s enthusiasm for the vintage was echoed by James Suckling, who calls it ‘a modern rendition of the 1966’, and suggests that vintage Port is ‘one of the best buys in the young fine wine in the world’. The Wine Advocate - very unusually - brought forward publication of its Port ...
