While shoping at my local Trader Joe's market this afternoon I saw this Port. Being it was only $6.00, I had never heard of Morgado before, and in my quest to try new things I got a bottle. The label says it is bottled by Sogrape Vinhos, S.A. and "Aged in oak casks," V.N.De Gaia-Portugal.
Color is more of a basic ruby than tawny, simple straight forward nose of plums, the palate is rather simple and one dementional but still pleasant. Nothing flashy on the palate, just some good plums and a touch of chocolate on the finish. Not a block buster tawny, but one of the better under $10.00 QPR's I've had. 79 points
