1969 Graham Single Harvest Tawny

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Caramel in colour but with a green tinge on the rim, 30% opaque. A huge nose of VA and almonds. Thickly textured on the palate, sweet and honeyed. On the mid-palate comes a mandarin acidity that adds a nice complexity. Great balance on the palate. A warm aftertaste and a finish that positively glows with acacia honey and lasts for so long before a slightly sticky finish. Great port. 94/100. Tasted 24-Feb-15.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
