On Wednesday 2nd May 2012 Johnny Symington joined some regulars at The Bung Hole†, partly to show off the Graham 1952 Single Harvest Tawny. All this after a day spent at The Big Fortified Tasting.

† We are boycotting the corporately anodyne new name. Really, what snorey-dull person did that?

This is the TN for the D60 brought by THRA.

D60, brought by THRA, and my last TN for vintage port at the end of a very long day. “red-brown”, “heat then sugar-sweetness”. Soon after I retired to bed.

[AHB]

Deep burnished gold. Spicy nose, lifted and attractive; lots of fruit. Restrained fruit on entry, huge levels of acidity subduing the strawberry fruit. Lovely sweet red fruit aftertaste, and a long lingering curry leaf finish. Really nice port. 91/100.

Curry leaves would have to be an unusual descriptor for an aged VP.

But that is what came to mind!
