1970 Graham's vintage port
Drunk 15/2/08 and decanted for two and a half days. Deep red in colour, slightly pink on the rim. Nose warm and full of cloves and nutmeg. Initially not sweet in the mouth but really a little hollow on first impact. Great development with first the sweetness coming through, balanced by a streak of acidity, and then the many different layers of fruit and coffee charge into focus. The aftertaste is just amazing, this is where the tannins really show through, and lasts a long time. Great port and a better showing than last night. 7/8 or 92/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Is this G70 the remnants of the Valentines Day 1970 Horizontal, or is this bonus port?
