Re: 1963 Graham
Graham 1963. Oporto bottled. Quite faded in colour, bronze but evolved. 40% opaque. A little oxidised on the nose, perhaps some dirtiness to the cranberry and redcurrant. Harsh on the palate, the fruit odddly flattened. Sweet fruit is trying to get through, but the harshness dominates. Not right. Not scored. Tasted 23-Jul-2024.
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!
