Mg70: red-brown, 30% opaque; burnt caramel, sweet and long.

1970 Morgan. Attractive rose red colour, 30% opaque. Very little in the nose but there is a bit of soapy redcurrant. Very nice on the palate and with a long and lovely aftertaste and finish. Delicious bitter sloe fruit persists all over the mouth. Rather good. 89/100. Oporto bottled. Double decanted 10 hours.

[Sample taken on night and consumed on 13/10/25] Light red, yellow rim. Light on the nose. Palate rather prettily red fruited. But not memorable.
