Messias Vintage 2011 - Port Wine

Tasting notes
Deep red color wine, on the nose exalts the aromas of black fruit from the forest, with hints of violet and nuances of black pepper. On the palate it shows an explosion of ripe fruit combined with a high freshness, with well-present tannins that give it immense life and prolonged mouth, a characteristic that increases its aging potential, although it can be consumed now.
