G48. Sweet, soft, long, lovely. Perhaps slightly simple, but nonetheless lovely.

Sealed with a cork branded "Graham Finest Reserve 1948". A rich bronze colour, mature and attractive; 60% opaque. A spiced nose with lots of fragrance. Rich on the palate with lots of mace and complex spiced dried fruit. Lovely development on the palate with multiple layers of flavour that deliver a rich figgy date and dried cherry. Big aftertaste with a rich dried fig leading to a long finish of power and fruit. Absolutely fabulous Port. 96/100. 12-Dec-18.
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!
