Description

The "Winedoctor" gave this 18.5 out of 20 points and said of this wine: "At a little over thirty years of age, and after exactly that number of years in bottle, the 1977 Vintage Port from Graham's has a lovely colour, appearing quite mature in the glass, losing some depth of hue, although it is certainly not pale. The nose is divine, taking some time to open up naturally, but then it begins to reveal its perfumed beauty, with a blend of violet petals and raspberries on toast. These early and bright fruit characteristics are followed by notes of darker fruits, cloves, touches of white chocolate and a little spirit still... It has a lovely somewhat creamy texture on entry, then showing some structure through the middle, tannic, grippy ...with a gentle, caressing substance alongside. Savoury, sweet but aromatic, firm, but what is most impressive is its light footed nature, bright and yet substantial, elegant even... packed full of potential...delightful to drink now this will undoubtedly continue to age gracefully in the cellar for a couple of decades yet, perhaps longer.
