1977 Graham

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A lovely red colour with plenty of bricking, 30% opaque. Limited nose, just some sweet fruit. Smooth in texture, a touch hollow on entry but delivers a lovely mid-palate full of fruit and sweet spice. Warm and fruity on the aftertaste and finish. This has great promise. 90/100.

The review thread contains a list of all the ports on show at the 2014 Berry Brothers Port Walk.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

Colour as described above, slightly bigger and more sinewy than the stock I have. Probably too simple to score very highly but everything is in place and well proportioned.

There was spice, cinnamon perhaps, and it grew very big, roundness and juiciness, with late heat. Beautifully balanced.

in the nose some heat and varnish, in the mouth younger than in the nose (like the F77), good

I am pleased how these have evolved that last few years. They were spirity and rough a while back, but the last one I opened was quite a surprise.
