Verdlho from Madeira, Portugal
A bouquet of orange rind, grapefruit and attractive baking spice emerging with aeration. The palate bright with juicy fruit and superb acidity for balance; notes of candied peel, honeyed fruit and an earthy funk give way to a spicy finish.
The 10-Year-Old Boal is an excellent example of the complex flavour profile that result from the madeirisation process, combining rich, sweet fruit with savoury, often funky, characters. The nose blossoms in the glass with notes of opulent dried fruit, toffee and brown sugar notes along with hints of char and mineral rancio character. The palate is smooth in texture with a nice zing of acidity. Flavours of candied citrus, caramel and sweet spice balance with intriguing savoury character, culmi
Tinta Negra from Madeira, Portugal
A real head-turner. Aromas of maple syrup, bitter orange marmalade and a touch of iodine. The palate is rich and full-bodied; silky on the tongue, it gives prunes, raisins, sweet spice and bitter almond, culminating in a sweet-smoke finish. Such clearly defined flavours highlight the unique winemaking processes at work, and its well-balanced structure makes appears like a much drier wine through the palate. My personal pick of the Five Year Old Reserves – this is seriously compelling wine!
Tinta Negra from Madeira, Portugal
A fantastic entrée to D’Oliveiras range, with an enticing nose with notes of bitter orange, raisined fruit, sweet spice and a touch of charred wood. Lithe and lively on the palate with an excellent balance of fresh acidity, sweet citrus and an almost meaty, rancio nuttiness.
Verdlho from Madeira, Portugal
Very impressed by the harmony of primary fruit and secondary characters; definitely a wine that keeps you coming back for more. The nose is initially savoury with hazelnuts, smoke and pine needles that open up to candied peel, baking spice and fruit mince. Higher sugar levels lend a mouth-filling richness, complemented by pithy citrus flavours and balanced by hints of spice and dried herbs. A long savoury finish.
Verdlho from Madeira, Portugal
"It has a terse, orange rind, California raisin and dried apricot-scented bouquet with attractive resinous aromas emerging with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with superb acidity, crisp, honeyed fruit and a delicious spicy finish that is focused and tense. This is one of the best in their range."Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Malvasia from Madeira, Portugal
Bright, amber-coloured and light golden nuances. This wine offers us a complex aroma of dried fruits, jam and some wood. Full-bodied, rich and smooth with a taste of nuts and honey. Very pleasant aftertaste.Henriques & Henriques
As always this 100% single-quinta wine is drawn from Noval’s own vines. There are three core parcels, all near the winery—the terraces directly surrounding the winery in Pinhão, the vines in the Roncão Valley and a parcel overlooking the Douro River.“The finish is long and jam-packed with delicious fruit, while the purity of that fruit is remarkable. Between its backbone and the freshness of the year, it should age well. Few will refuse a second glass of this debonair Porto at the

Another beauty in this wonderful Noval lineup, this, like so many of them, opens so rich and viscous that it seems simply astonishing that it is really this mature. It seems burly and youthful, fresh and invigorating. True, given the 2012 bottling date, it has not done much settling in the bottle—and those first tastes are often amazing. However, it was retasted in the USA as well some months later and over several days to boot. That rich, decadent first attack was still stunning a couple of d
