Graham--Vintage 1955
English-bottled by Corney & Barrow. No labels. Levels: five base of neck or better and one very top-shoulder
Vintage note: At last, a vintage of quality and quantity to meet an equally ripe and responding market. The best since 1948, the most widely declared - 26 shippers - since 1927. Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
Tasting note: One of my all-time favourite ports. I have made nearly 30 notes since 1958, seven since 1990. A big wine that has evolved perfectly. A classic in 1991 bottled by Harvey's: mature but rosy-cheeked; glorious bouquet, a fabulous fragrance erupting out of its depths. Sweet, refined, silky, yet still tannic, fleshy yet firm. Showing well at a Gidleigh Park port tasting in the mid-1990s fragrant, almost ethereal, lovely texture. Then a powerful magnum and four bottles in one month, each delectable. I noted the superb, black velvet-stained end of one of the corks, the unctuous 'tears' in the glass and the glowingly warm finish. In 1997, with Taylor's '55 at a Bacchus Society dinner in Coral Gables, ludicrously served alongside 'Autumn Pumpkin and Vahlrona Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream'. Ignoring the mismatch of food I thought I detected a reversal of roles, Graham having a more pronounced character than the Taylor. Most recently, decanted at 6.20 pm, fully mature; a light, spicy bouquet that opened up magnificently by 10.30. Still very sweet, delicious flavour, glorious length. Perfection. Dinner at home, Oct 1999 ***** Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
