TN: 1985 Morgan Vintage Port
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:13 am
Decant: 2 hours - Part of a range of Morgan ports made available by Christie's for buyers to taste prior to the fine wine sale of Thursday November 2006.
Similar in colour to the 1977. A sweet cherry juice nose, almost as sweet as bubble gum. A swirl releases the spirit but the fruit remains present. Sweeter into the mouth than any of the previous wines. The tannins are fully integrated around a core of cherry juice and tobacco. The aftertaste is pleasant and of reasonable length, bringing flavours of warm cedar wood and balsamic vinegar. 6-5. 89 points
