1963 Graham

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled in the UK by an unknown bottler. Opened at 09.00, decanted at 14.55 and drunk at 18.25.

A mature bronze-red colour, 30% opaque. Some dried berries on the nose, an appetising blend of redcurrant and citrus zest. Smooth on the palate, carrying the orange zest on a nicely textured pillow of flavour. A little eucalyptus oil gives just a hint of heat to the honey wrapped around the fruit. The warm and spiced orange zest of the aftertaste slowly changes to a delicious finish of sweet apricot. This is a brilliant bottle of Port. 94/100. 24-Apr-23.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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