Morrison's The Best 10 Year Old Bottled In 2024

 Morrison's The Best 10 Year Old Bottled In 2024


Clear reddish brown colour with old citrus hints on the nose. Tasting revealed a rich and full bodied port. The taste was of cooked citrus fruits combined with a dry oakiness and a sweetness that brought the whole thing together. What surprised me was the lingering depth of this port because I wasn't expecting a supermarket offering to be this good. The price was £14 a bottle to holders of a Morrison's store card; I have tasted 10 year olds at twice this price that this could stand up against.

Deep ruby colour with a lightly fruity nose. The initial taste was sweet and spicy then the plummy fruit flavours came in as the mouthful was swallowed. This left a lingering rich, peppery and fruity taste to enjoy between sips.
