1991 Morgan Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Port C - 12 hours double decant time
A deep red colour, holding right into the rim, the colour expected of a vintage port around 15 years of age. The nose is slightly hot, but brings sweet mulberries out of the glass. A sweet entry, full of fruit, perhaps a touch drying from the tannins. The acidic structure is light, balanced and surrounded by fruit. The tannins are soft and hidden away. Midpalate development is lovely, bringing lots of layers of fruit, all-spice and a touch of pepperiness. A soft aftertaste starts quickly, holds for a while and then fades quickly away. This is a very pleasant drink today and one which is likely to be just as good in 10 years time. 6/6 or 91/100.

Port C - Morgan 1991; I decided that we had to show Roy for himself what the fuss was all about. Now he has seen the Morgan 1991 and can understand why we keep drinking so much of it.
