TN: 1991 Morgan Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 24 hours - Mid- to deep-red colour. Opaque centre and with the colour holding into the rim. A touch of blackcurrants on the nose, very faint eucalyptus, perhaps a bit stewed (it was initially very warm in the room). Nocely balanced in the mouth, initially showing the tannins very strongly. Lots of layers of complexity show when the tannins release their hold on the cheeks. Pure blackberry juice, very sweet but very hot later on in the mouth. The aftertaste takes a long while to start to show. When it does, it is mouth-filling but is only enjoyable once the bite from the alcohol fades to leave a long, bitter-chocolate aftertaste. 88 points
