Wine Tasting Note

    Great wine to have if you want a vintage, but there is no occasion. Firm tannin, and plenty of chewy berry flavors. Cross between the Dow's raspberry, and Graham's prune flavor.Posted on Nov 13, 2003

    Another good inexpensive vintage port (available through Trader Joe's at under $15) is a 1987 Morgado. Porto Morgado is bottled by Forrester & Co, who also bottle Offley. The wine has good color and is medium bodied. The first bottle I opened was slightly reminiscent of a Dow's...a bit peppery and austere. I enjoyed another bottle recently and tasted currants. All-in-all a good vintage port for the price.Posted on Nov 29, 2003
