Noval's Colheita is a rare Port produced in small quantities from a single harvest in exceptional years. Unlike vintage Ports (also from a single harvest), colheitas are aged in barrels until bottling. This first bottling from the 2007 barrels boasts complex, layered aromatics, with arresting freshness: sweet dried figs, molasses, plump sultanas and raisins, dried citrus peel, some candied peel, mellow undertones of old polished furniture. Unctuous palate balanced by vibrant acidity; layered with dried fruits, figgy pudding, some fresh citrus, ginger syrup, ripe red berries and plums. Lose yourself in the long, lingering, fresh finish. Drink up: colheitas don't improve with bottle age.
