2009 Graham LBV
Bottling date not shown on the label. Deep red centre and a slightly lighter rim. A lot of agitation brings a little out on the nose but there is not much. Sweet fruit with a good presence on entry. Purple fruit dominates the entry and leads to a huge mid-palate of focused fruit and lovely acidity. There is a wonderful fruit finish. This Port has little complexity or subtlety but is a great port for those who love young, fruity port. 85/100. Tasted 24-Feb-15.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
