For The Love Of Port

A label of Hutchenson and Feuerheerd, bottled in 2000.
A bit cloudy. True tawny color. Sweet roasted aromas, a bit angular. Medium bodied on the palate. A bit disjointed and unbalanced. Some heat on the finish along with some bitterness. Not a lot of intensity or complexity. Better the second day. Much of the heat and bitterness has disapated. Now rounder. The aromas have improved as well. Decent, still lacking a bit in intensity and complexity. Would score 90 points on the second day.

If it's at all like the 1937 Moreira that I had, it will continue to improve for probably a week. As I recall, mine was best from about day 7 to about day 10, but continued to change beyond that.

Strange birds, those Moreiras.

Yes they are. They remain the only Port I've that actually got better (significantly better) after about 5-6 days being opened.
