Re: 1927 Graham crusted
The neck label bore the name of a Dutch shipper (Dirk read it out for us), but it was concluded that this was Oporto bottled.
This was a mid-deep chestnut, with a simple woody nose. Rather sweet. I found this somewhat medicinal - a little like cough syrup - but I don't think anyone agreed.

Re: 1927 Graham crusted
Light orange in colour, 10% opaque. Slightly oxidised nose, but nicely dusty fruit full of raisins and some countering acidity. Sweet and soft entry, but with a slightly oxidised palate. Mature finish with lovely complexity. Sweet fruit, perhaps a little simple, but with some sugary soft milk chocolate on the finish. 87/100.
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!
