Tasting Notes
The Messias Vintage 2016 presents a deep red colour, black fruit aromas, with hints of violet and black pepper nuances. On the palate shows an explosion of ripe fruit combined with a strong freshness, with the tannins giving it a push into longevity. The wine finishes in a long satisfying aftertaste.

Serving and Food pairing
Vintage Ports pair well with rich foods such as blue cheeses, chocolate desserts, and chocolate covered fruit and nut. Decanting before serving is recommended to allow the wine to breathe and to remove any sediment. Serve at room temperature.

Reviews

"With a dark red colour, this Vintage Port has an intense personality, with ripe berries aromas, jam and hints of blackberries while young, turning to a complex bouquet and full of tertiary aromas with the ageing. It has always a powerful mouth feeling, with a remarkable structure, revealing a pleasantly and long aftertaste.
