88 points Wine Spectator: "[$22 list] Shows beautiful aromas of sliced plum and peach, with raspberry jam. Medium-bodied and lightly sweet, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Refined and pretty. This is a new Port from Noval that is supposed to attractive new consumers and please old ones. Might work. Drink now. (5/31/10)"

Producer notes: "This is a classic 'vintage character' port, aged for between four and five years in wood before bottling. It is blended from a number of vintages to give consistent characteristics of rich fruit, fine bouquet and a delicate palate."
