Croix Gay other_regions_italy The Quinta do Noval Vintage

The Quinta do Noval Vintage 2003 has a gorgeous raisin

with only ex-Tertre Daugay fruit used

this is a clear notch up in elegance and is clearly finer with an ultra high-toned floral and spice-infused nose that is almost completely closed in though this may be due to a subtle touch of reduction and I would suggest decanting this if you’re going to try a bottle young

Oddero can be hit and miss
