Quoth the Raven, "It doth lack Flavor."

Quinto do Noval
Raven
$12.99 (500ml)

The Raven is Quinto do Noval’s Ruby Port. It is dark red in the glass and has aromas of dark berries, creamy vanilla and chocolate. The palate is more simple than the aroma suggests and shows light, cherry flavors. It also has a velvety texture. The tannins are soft, the finish is a touch hot, and it is a bit drier than the typical ruby. It is well-structured but I prefer a more complex and/or concentrated flavor palate.
