Messias, 1968

Colheita Port, Douro

Description and Reviews:
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 bodied with plenty of nuts and sweet fruit on the palate, finely balanced. A tremendous finish which goes on forever. There's no question about the quality on display here.
