Re: What have you opened this week?
NV Morgado 10 Years Old Tawny. For little money, it’s not bad. It's great for $10.99. An amazing price! Sogrape does not make bad wines. Maybe the occasional boring wine, but not flawed. I've had the other Morgado Ports in the past, and they were forgettable. These are correct and beyond many 10 ye...

I just served a simple Morgado 10 years old tawny. Unfortunately at this time I don't have access to my cellar.

TN: 2003 Rio Bom Touriga Franca Douro Red
This wine was impenetrable on release. Still quite dark ruby. Beatiful nose of intense black cherry and melon, white flowers herbs, and orange peel. So suave in the mouth! Black cherry, chocolate, lemon, plums,. Good grip in the finish, but not really tannic like it was in the past. Extremely long f...

2006 Quinta do Portal Vintage Port
2006 Quinta do Portal Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (8/27/2022) Well made. Blackberry nose. The palate has up front fruit and then it's clear that the wine is thin for a Vintage Port. OK, but just that. LBV Quality. Next day, some definite improvement! Med+ bodied. Again strong forward fru...

This wine was funky right from the beginning. It was very muted and not representative of what I have previous tastings of this Port. The next day - appears to be corked Not Rated

Yellow color. Melon nose. Medium bodied. Apple and lemon flavors. Smooth finish. This was a surprise because 2006 was a difficult year and I had little hope of it being good. (90 pts.)

Dark ruby color. Slight rim and some browning. Wow! Outstanding! This is the best 1985 Dow's that I've tasted! A triumph! So many 1985 seem to be aging on a fast track, but clearly this Port will have a very long life. (95 pts.)
