On the palate, Quinta do Noval Vintage 2021 is full-bodied and intense, with a powerful concentration of dark fruit flavors—blackcurrants, cassis, and dark chocolate stand out. There are also nuanced notes of licorice, tobacco, and a slight peppery spice, adding depth to the profile. The tannins are firm yet finely integrated, providing structure and balance, while a well-defined acidity gives the wine freshness and length.
