TN: 1966 Morgan Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Decant: 2 hours - Part of a range of Morgan ports made available by Christie's for buyers to taste prior to the fine wine sale of Thursday November 2006.

Pale and brown with the same green tinge on the rim as seen in the '63. Nose of raisins soaked in Kirsch, very sweet smelling with the promise of plenty of fruit. Dry entry, alightly harsh acidity with fruit complexity building slowly in the midpalate. Very pronounced aftertaste of bitter cherries and chocolate ice cream that lasts a long time. Overall, this was a very nice wine and significantly better than the '63. However, it clearly is either at its peak or is just starting to decline. 6-6. 90 points
