Graham Vintage Port (fruchtsüß) 1970

Tom Cannavan: Very serious black fruit and incense nose that is blackcurranty and spicy. This seems younger than the Warre. On the palate still a powerhouse structure of tannin and acidity. There's a toffee/fudge richness to the sweet black fruits and a smooth texture, but then also a firm edge adding complexity. Huge concentration and very long. This needs time and is a profound wine. 96/100 (1999)

Falstaff: Helles Karmingranat, Ockerreflexe, sehr breiter Wasserrand. Rauchig, zart schwefelige Nuancen, tabakiger Touch, verbrannte Schokolade, rotes Beerenkonfit unterlegt. Wirkt einerseits weitmaschig, andererseits alkoholisch, präsente Tannine, erdige Tannine, zarter Madeiratouch, eine ungewöhnlich weit entwickelte Flasche. 90/100 (2016)

Jancis Robinson: Browning core with tawny rim but still some red in the colour. Lovely herbal scent with hints of bitter orange, plus figs, complex scented dried fruits but not at all raisined, tannins still have a little bit of friction but there's an incredible amount of fruit even now, and silky on the finish. Deep and gently chewy with the intense freshness of spiced bitter orange. Port expert Richard Mayson described it as 'one of the post-war greats'. Fabulous length and unfolds in the glass. Great freshness. 19/20
