1998 Graham crusted
Posted: 05:15 Mon 13 Apr 2009
Third bottle from a case bought four years ago, the last bottle having been popped two years ago.
Immediately approachable after decanting, with little evolution thereafter
From the last time, I remembered the wine as being raw, and lacking composure; but what a difference a couple of years makes..
Fabulous fruity nose - as good as anything I can recall from any port. On the palate, young, but well composed and fruity with tannins that are barely noticeable.
A great casual quaff.
