Description

Grahams 1997 Vintage Port

Producer Tasting Note:

A very intense colour with a deep purple rim, on the nose showing a luscious ripeness with rich floral aromas and undertones of black cherry. On the palate a classic full-bodied structure, packed with layers of ripe fruit and firm tannins, with a long and lingering finish. One of the great Vintages of the decade, with full-bodied and harmonious wines.

Magnificent wine, with an abundance of rich ripe berry flavours. Sensational drinking now.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Deep crimson. Thick, sweet and concentrated. Round and full and unctuous. Lots of macerated prunes and confidence. Lively and dense with real richness but a correct structure. Some floral notes and some dry tannins on the finish. Not quite married but a definite tea flavour. Dry finish."

17.5/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, October 2004

"Plum and blackberry on the nose, with hints of dried violets. Wet earth. Full-bodied, medium-sweet, very chewy and rich. Long and caressing. Still very tight. Give it time. Very layered and structured. Much better than I remember. Impressive."

95/100 points, Wine Spectator, 2008
