NV Morgadio da Calcada Tawny
Posted: 21:35 Fri 29 Oct 2010
A new one to me. Available other than in hotel bars in Fez’ Ville Nouvelle? I have no idea.
Sold as a Porto Rogue, in the oddest glass I have ever seen for serving Port (for which I blame the French):
I think this must be a tawny. Nice on the nose; gentle cherry and a mild tawny smell. In the mouth, more cherries, a little sugar, let down by a bit of rancio.
In all honesty, for a basic category Port from a unknown shipper in a hotel bar in an African country (that could have been open for an unknown time), this exceeded my expectations. All circumstances considered, it is perfectly drinkable.
