1991 Morgan Vintage Port
Posted: 13:00 Sun 16 Sep 2007
I've just opened a bottle of Morgan 1991 and will post a tasting note later. Curiously - and I don;t remember this from the previous bottles I opened - the cork was branded across the length as opposed to the more usual branding along the length. The result of this was most odd since the cork was put into the bottle upside down.
Tasted after 1 hour:
Colour is a warm, mahogany red with a brown tone. The nose is well developed and reaches out of the glass while it sits on the desk as I write this note. Putting my nose into the glass brings out strawberry syrup, a hint of mint and some "old library book" dust. Wonderfully smooth entry, not overly sweet. Lots of mature fruit and a lovely woody structure, but the tannins are soft and pleasant. A long aftertaste, initially dominated by fruit by then the choclate from the tannins takes over and stays a long time.
This is tasty! I look forward to drinking it properly this evening.
