Re: 1983 Graham
Deep red with an opaque centre. Closed on the nose with just faint hints of black cherries. Smooth entry, rich in depth and full of blackberry fruit. The mid-palate is supported by powerful tannins with the tannins fading on the late palate. A wonderful, warm fruit-led aftertaste with an immense fruit and dark chocolate finish. A fabulous bottle. 94/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
