Product details
This exceptional old Tawny Port from a single year brings together the finest crafts of Graham’s long winemaking tradition. The wine was principally made from grapes grown at Quinta dos Malvedos. Following its first winter, it was taken to Graham’s Lodge, in Vila Nova de Gaia, where the moderating influence of proximity to the sea creates ideal conditions for long-term ageing. The result is a wine of extraordinary complexity and depth. This remarkable wine is a celebration of the deep complexity and balance that only experience across generations can craft.

Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Deep orange-brown core with red-brown rim and beautiful gradations of pale amber and green along the surface edge. Aromas of marzipan and demerara sugar complemented by a touch of honey and traces of eucalyptus. The incredible, multi-layered, creamy palate reveals finely textured flavours of soft caramel and treacle with a counterpoint of citrous and apricot preserves and finely polished tannins. Whilst sumptuously rich and concentrated, there is still quite a remarkable freshness that holds everything exquisitely in balance. A wine redolent of age, elegance, and refinement.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
