Messias Port Colheita 2004

€ 40.70

Blondish red color with aromas of forest fruits, jutting blackberry. On the palate the flavors are confirmed, with tannins and subtle hints of vanilla. The aftertaste is persistent and fine.

Colheita's are seen as Tawny's of very high quality. Comes from a single harvest and has spent at least 7 years in French oak barrels of approximately 550 liters. Colheita port wine represents less than 1% of the total annual production of port. Like Vintage, a Colheita port is only released when the best conditions are met and after approval of the IDVP (Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto)
