WS 95 (2/2000): A fruit bomb. Superb single-quinta wine. Excellent dark color, with intense currant, berry and claretlike aromas. Full-bodied, with a big, racy backbone of tannins. Lovely, sweet finish. Best after 2007.
VM 87 (6/2000): Full ruby. Grapey aromas of black cherry, cassis and menthol. Concentrated but rather hard-edged, with solid structure for aging. A gutsy rather than elegant style of port, in need of patience. Finishes with somewhat coarse tannins. |

MB [****[*]] (10/1998): Five consistently good notes. First in 1993, very distinctive. Next at a Dow vertical in Aspen in June 1994, then a very high mark at a Symington tasting that autumn and at the MW tasting in 1995. Initially an intense mulberry colour, still deep, velvety; powerful yet harmonious nose, rich, figgy; very sweet, crisp, good flesh and fruit. Lasted tasted Oct 1998. Drink 2005-2025.
WS 92 (5/2005): Perfumed and gorgeous, with flowers, berry and plum. Full-bodied, very sweet and round, with lovely rich fruit and a long finish. A tiny bit of heat, but will come around nicely. Very pretty indeed. Hard not to swallow now. '91/'92 Port retrospective. Best from 2006 through 2014. |

WA 96 (8/1992): I thought this was a staggering example of port. Dow's style tends to be more backward, but this opaque black/purple-colored wine reveals a huge, powerful, intense palate, with gobs of flesh and viscous fruit. There is considerable tannin in the finish. It is a massive port with no indication of excessive alcohol in the finish. A magnificent young, dry-styled vintage port that just goes on and on in the mouth, it should last for 20-30 years. The single Quinta ports are just as spectacular as any vintage port I tasted from 1983 or 1985.
WS 86 (1/1993): Firm and fleshy, with ripe black cherry, vanilla and coffee aromas and flavors. Shows a definite grip of tannin and alcohol on the finish, but in balance. A chewy wine that will need to sort itself out. Best from 2000 through 2005. |

| WA 84 (12/1988): This robust, densely colored port has plenty of muscle, power, and alcohol yet is short on finesse. Slightly disjointed with the alcohol quite noticeable, this port needs 4-5 years to find its balance, but all the components are there. It may prove to merit a higher rating in the future. |

| VM 87 (1/2006): Saturated ruby. Superripe, floral aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate and menthol. Sweet and roasted on the palate; just this side of pruney, but also perked up by surprisingly firm acidity. The fairly thick, sweet flavors of cherry candy, blackberry and cassis show very good but not outstanding concentration. Finishes with a hint of dryness and good length. Stephen Tanzer. |

| WA 88 (4/2014): The first vintage under the AXA Millesime regime, but predating Christian Seely’s tenure, the 1994 Quinta do Noval Vintage has a conservative bouquet that is quite earthy with hints of game and leather. It has moderate definition, but conservative, and is missing the exuberance of its Nacional counterpart. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity and powdery tannins. There are touches of black pepper and game interwoven into the black fruit, while later burnt toast and tobacco surface. But the Noval ’94 does not “fly” like the Nacional, and instead settles for being an improvement on its nadir during the 1980s rather than exploiting that great Douro vintage. This drank so well until a few years ago, but now it looks to be in decline. |

WS 91 (7/1994): Loads of character in this one. You can almost smell the soil. Very powerful and impressive, with masses of tannins and medium sweetness. It shows opulent aromas and flavors of wet earth, green tea and berry. A tough young wine that needs to age. Best after 2000. 1,300 cases made.
WA 89 (2/1995): The 1991's impressive color and flashy nose of pepper, spice, earth, black truffles, and black fruits, suggest a developed, forward character. Medium to full-bodied, with significant tannin and moderate sweetness, this 1991, although impressive, was almost overwhelmed in a blind, peer group tasting by some of the more rich and concentrated examples. Already approachable, give the 1991 5-7 years of cellaring and drink it over the next 20-25. |

WS 95 (4/1998): A ripe and rich '95 boasting a remarkable essence of crushed berries, this is classic Port. It's full-bodied and quite sweet, with the velvetiest of tannins and a long, long ripe fruit finish. At its best after 2008. 3,000 cases made.
FTLOP 83 (10/2006): (Vertically Speaking FTLOP tasting at Vesuvio, group score = 87.4. Medium ruby in color with spicy cinnamon, spearmint and a kiss of oak. I don't know what happened here as I don't remember any other recent samplings of this wine. It shows a dense, full-body and very big tannins but then gets weird and hard for me to describe. There is an odd tobacco note and red fruits but a very bitter, medicinal finish which is quite short. I need to try another bottle of this to see if it was just an anomaly. |

| WS 94 (5/2003): Lovely nose of plums, chocolate and berries, with hints of spices. Full-bodied, with superfirm tannins and a tight tannin structure. Long and refined. It builds on your palate. Best after 2012. 2,500 cases made. |

| VM 93 (1/2006): Full ruby. Pure, sexy aromas of black fruits, minerals and spice cake. Concentrated, superrich and impressively structured; a sweet, dense, primary wine with terrific depth and breadth. Offers intriguing hints of woodsmoke and pomegranate, and conveys a strong sense of extract. The vibrant finish features compellingly sweet tannins and a whiplash of black cherry and licorice flavor. A great showing already, but this should reward 12 to 15 years of aging. Stephen Tanzer. |

| WA 88 (12/2002): While Smith Woodhouse's 2000 possesses a healthy dark ruby/purple, its muted aromatics are disappointing. Medium-bodied, with jammy fruit and moderate sweetness, this is a pleasant but one-dimensional, straightforward vintage port to drink over the next 12-15 years. |

WS 91 (12/2008): Ruby-colored, with grape, dark chocolate and plum. Full and chewy. Tannins are still there and need to mellow. Medium-sweet and grapey. A little one-dimensional still, but impressive. '77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective. Drink now.
WA 90 (1/1989): This house makes rather restrained yet rich, flavorful vintage port and a very good tawny called Nimrod. Their vintage ports seem slow to develop, and while they never quite have the voluptuous richness of a Dow, Graham, or Fonseca, they have a unique mineral-scented character that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1985 is the sweetest and richest of the recent Warre vintages. Extremely concentrated, rich, even luscious, this full-bodied, intense, opulent wine has layers of fruit, a full-blown bouquet, and impeccable balance. The soft tannins and precocious appeal of the 1985 suggest rapid maturation. |
