1985 Port vintage is a great classic Port Vintage, with concentrated, rich and potent wines. General declaration of vintage. 1985 was a model year for the growth of the vines. A wet winter followed by a moderate spring led into an extremely warm June and a hot July and August.
The harvest took place under perfect weather conditions, and the fermentations went well also. From the very start shippers were predicting outstanding wines.
The ports from 1985 are characterised as being forward with enormous structure, and staggering depth, dimension, and length. They are at the peak of their maturity and will remain so for another 15-20 years.
Fragrant, distinctive nose and flavour **** drinking well. Michael Broadbent.
Part of a range of Morgan ports made available by Christie's for buyers to taste prior to the fine wine sale of Thursday 16 November 2006.
Similar in colour to the 1977. A sweet cherry juice nose, almost as sweet as bubble gum. A swirl releases the spirit but the fruit remains present. Sweeter into the mouth than any of the previous wines. The tannins are fully integrated around a core of cherry juice and tobacco. The aftertaste is pleasant and of reasonable length, bringing flavours of warm cedar wood and balsamic vinegar. 89/100.
