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.
