Messias Port Colheita 2007

€ 31.20

Golden red color. The aroma is rich in ripe fruit with a touch of spice and vanilla notes. On the mouth is fresh, balanced, with silky tannins. The aftertaste is strong and persistent

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.
