Messias 2017 LBV Port - Half Bottle (37.5cl)
Stilton without port is still excellent. But Stilton with port knows it’s Christmas.
Add a 37.5cl bottle of Messias 2017 Late Bottled Vintage Port to any Christmas Riot and give your cheese night the properly glorious finish it deserves.
Made in Portugal’s Douro Valley, this rich LBV is packed with dark fruit and intense blackberry, with excellent concentration and firm tannins to keep all that sweetness in line.
Bring it out for the Stilton, then try it with the aged Comté and truffled Spanish sheep’s cheese. Very different cheeses. Very good decisions.
WHY A HALF-BOTTLE?
Because 37.5cl provides around five or six sensible after-dinner servings without leaving you with an enormous bottle to finish.
Although, if you don’t finish it immediately, there’s no panic: this ready-to-drink LBV doesn’t require decanting and can be enjoyed by the glass for a couple of weeks after opening.
