1970 Graham's Vintage Port

The 1970 vintage of Graham’s is an outstanding wine at its apogee of peak maturity. The bouquet is deep, complex and still vibrant, offering up a complex blend of cherries, plums, cigar wrapper, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, mint, chocolate and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a superb core of fruit, excellent focus and balance, a nice spine of acidity and excellent grip on the very long, impeccably balanced finish. This is an outstanding wine.

This is an extremely full-bodied, powerful wine, but it still retains a classy balance. Deep ruby, with chocolate and berry aromas, full-bodied, with anise and dried cherry flavors, full, hard tannins and a long finish. (JS)
