This exceptional old Tawny Port from a single year brings together the finest crafts of Graham’s long winemaking tradition.

Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red, deep and youthful . On the nose it is intense, youthful, refined, fresh, rich and seductive. The taste is vigor, ripe, warming, medium-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, concentrated structure, youthful and the palate is sharp. The finish is medium long, flavorful, spicy and vibrant. This wine is sexy, exotic and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.
The nose is exquisitely aromatic with a magnificent array of vanilla, soft butterscotch and quince, combined with exotic and spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is velvety, with polished definition and elegance. Hints of honey, raisins and caramel, perfectly balanced by a backbone of orange zest acidity and fine-grained silky tannins. The finish is long and extraordinarily mellow with a nutty almond finish that lingers on the palate.
