1977 Graham vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

From tregnum. Ex-cellars. Gentle red in colour, with some paling on the rim; 60% opacity. Dusty raspberry on the nose, slightly hot. Sweet impact, but with lots of heat among the soft raspberry fruit, gentle red licorice and tight acidity. The red licorice dominates the aftertaste, but merges into the heat and raspberry finish. A fine and lovely port. 89/100. Drunk 24 September 2010.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

G77, from an ex-cellars tregnum. What joy a tregnum. I was so overcome with pleasure at the odd-size bottle that I failed to take any notes about the juice. :-(

My ranking was ‟F60 > G63 > G77 > T63”.
