NV Messias White 20YO

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Messias White 20YO - a 6cl sample tube not properly sealed and which had leaked a little in transit. A dark amber colour. Much better balanced on the nose than the 10YO White tasted alongside this wine, this has a richness and ripeness to the fruit that is welcoming. The balance holds on the palate; the fruit is generous and ripe without being sweet. The fruit fills the mouth with a delicious mango and pineapple, the acidity in the wine really only showing on the aftertaste as a burst of mouth-watering activity. A lovely persistent finish. This is rather lovely. 89/100. Tasted 27-Jan-25.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
