Critics Ratings

Messias 10 Year Old Tawny Port NV:
'Aged for 10 years in wood before bottling, this rich Port is showing well, its spice and density balanced with dried fruits and an edge of tannins. It is ready to drink now.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Mar 2024)

'Mid-deep tawny. Fresh leather, dark chocolate and some schist minerality, with brandy spirit and dried, mixed red fruit. Spirity, brandied entry, with dried and macerated red cherry, spice and chocolate. Smoky, dark-chocolate finish with notable alcohol.' - Tim Jackson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Apr 2019)

Ramos Pinto 30 Year Old Tawny Port NV:
'The wonderful old-gold color of this tawny leads into a generous, rich wine that has retained fruits while also showing a woody character that is typical of wines this old. With spice, dried raisins and intense acidity, it is a beautiful wine that deserves to be drunk just by itself.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Oct 2015)

'Dark tawny more like burnt amber. Nutty, savoury mushroom character. More tannic and more of that walnut and burnt orange flavour. Intense and sweet on the palate but finishes drier than it seems from the stated RS level and silky in texture. Very long and complex in the finish.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2017)
