1999 Graham Malvedos

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Ex-cellars. Deep red in colour, showing youth but not baby purple. 99% opaque. Slightly stewed fruit on the nose, full of bright raspberries. Sweet fruit dominates the entry, with lively and spicy acidity. The finish is long but hot, and is accompanied by a dry chocolate and sweet bramble flavour. 86/100. Drunk 26 September 2010.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!

GM99: 90% opaque, red-purple. Much lighter than the GM98, with heat. Less fruit as well. Very much the lesser of the pair.
