An explosion of fruit both on the nose and in the mouth. This was extremely good and enjoyable.

Re: 1963 Graham VP
Ex-cellars. Deep orange-red, 50% opaque. Very open nose, very inviting, full of mature raisins and rose hips. Sweet but spicy impact with high levels of acidity. Lots of secondary fruit - sweet and rich but with a balancing acidity. Chewy aftertaste and a fruit driven finish that is of good length. Drink or keep for years. 93/100. Drunk 14 November 2010 after 6 hours decanting.
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!
