Porto Messias Harvest 1963 75cl

380,00 

Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão

A light tawny wine, with green reflections. Very good and complex evolution of tertiary aromas; Good wood and an assortment of spices that combine in a symphony in tune with the aromas of “vinagrinho”, a pleasant bittersweet flavor. In the mouth it is full-bodied and unctuous, confirming all the good sensations that emerge in the nose, combining with a powerful internal nose and a long and delicious aftertaste.
