Description and Reviews:
This lovely gift set comprises of two bottles of fine 1968 Portuguese wine. It includes a barrel aged port and a medium sweet Madeira from the 1968 vintage, both presented in a double dark mocha leather effect gift box with silk liner. It makes for a very special 50 year old gift in 2018.

1968 Messias, Single Harvest/Colheita Port
The Messias colheita port from the good 1968 vintage has been aged in a barrel until bottling in 2014.
The extended barrel aging has given this wine a complex fusion of dried fruit and cedar notes. On the palate the wine is smooth and full bodies with plenty nuts and sweet fruit on the palate, fine balance. A tremendous finish which goes on forever. There's no question about the quality on display here.


1968 D'Oliveiras Boal, Vintage Madeira
***96 Points-Wine Spectator, Tasted April 2016***
***GOLD MEDAL INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRIT COMPETITION 2001. SILVER MEDAL INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE 2007***

An enormously inviting and complex nose, tastes of dried apricots and caramel which suddenly evolve into a surprisingly dry finish. An outstanding wine.
