Details
Graham--Vintage 1977
Oporto-bottled. Slightly corroded capsules. Levels into neck
In original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 186 to 188
Tasting note: A very good wine. Almost black in colour in 1979: a big, apple-nosed, very sweet, rich but angular wine. Gradual colour loss through the 1980s but, as it matured, a wonderful milange of fragrances developing: liquorice, strawberry, fig; fleshy, lovely fruit. Nearly twenty, always admiring, notes. Showing well at a Gidleigh Park port tasting in 1995: medium deep with red-brown rim; very rich, powerful bouquet opening up beautifully; sweet, good body and backbone, marvellous length, spicy finish. Most recently: delicious!. M.B.
