For The Love Of Port

Messias 1995 Quinta do Cachão LBV – bottled 1999. Not very outspoken on the nose, but good: dried figs, rosebuds. Somewhat alcoholic (although this blew off with some more waltzing). Medium bodied, well structure and great balance. This is fully mature, with secondary flavours dominating the midpalate. Lovely finish, fresh, is somewhat spicy hot as well. 85 points, drink now.
What a surprise when this turned out to be the Messias! I had never expected it to be this good.
