1996 Graham Malvedos

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Graham Malvedos 1996 in half. Much harsher and less pleasant than the half bottle of W00 tasted alongside. Lighter and thinner in texture with a slightly sulphurous tone. Baked fruit, hint of cabbage to the flavour on palate and finish. Good length, but such an (unpleasant) contrast to the W00. 85/100. Drunk 19-Mar-23. Pop 'n' pour.
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!

I take the point about the unpleasant contrast, but those halves of Warre 2000 are absolutely lush. I am on half 39 of 48. It is disastrously drinkable.

I concur. I cracked a half to share with family on Christmas Day and it's absolutely gorgeous in its relative youth.
