Description and Reviews:
The 1970 vintage in the Douro Valley is widely regarded as exceptional, producing wines of remarkable quality and longevity. Vintage Ports from esteemed estates like this 1970 vintage Port from Messias' Quinta do Cachão are highly prized. At its drinking peak now, this is the perfect port to be enjoyed on special occasions.
Tasting Notes: "Beautiful garnet mature colour. The bouquet reveals crème caramel, coffee, tea and much more -Wonderful nose! On the palate it is full bodied, balanced, elegant and complex. It is fully mature and peaking with a marvellous long finish." *Review by Vintage Port.Se*
Serving and Food pairing When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove the sediment and allow the air to express and develop its aromas and flavours. Serve at room temperature on its own or with steak and blue cheese sauce or vintage mature blue cheeses such as stilton Cashel Blue, Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Saint Augur Blue. Vintage port is also good with chocolate - a flattering accompaniment to top quality hand-made chocolates and artisan chocolate bars.
