NV Messias 10YO Tawny

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Very similar in colour to the Special Reserve shown alongside. Subdued on the nose with a little black licorice and slow to deliver on the palate but patience is rewarded as this develops into an enjoyable and elegant mouthful with a good balance. Closes with a long finish that is livened up with a good dose of cracked white peppercorn. 86/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
