Messias Colheita 1977

17.5 / 20
Producer: Messias
Region: Porto
Country: Portugal


The first colheita I tasted from Messias, this 1977 was bottled in 2007 and is showing very well at the moment, the spirits here already tamed and integrated into the whole wine.


Really interesting, complex nose where dried fruits mingle with some exotic woods in a sweet, honeyed background.


Smooth and layered in the palate, honey and caramel, rasins and dried plums, the spirits give it some acidity and freshness. Delicate, smooth caramel notes come up as well in a smooth, elegant and velvety body. Great, long finish. Amazing value for the price.
