Grahams 1970
12 bottles per lot
FINE PORT Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD) Grahams 1970 Embossed metal capsules, slightly corroded. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck or better Tasting note: The Graham family’s last vintage. Originally (July 1972) opaque, still deep, plummy and fairly intense, showing rich extract; fragrant, high-toned yet harmonious bouquet though still a bit hard; very sweet, full-bodied, lots of fruit, grip, length, tannin and acidity. Chocolate and spice. Well over two dozen notes since 1982, all consistently good. In the mid-1990s, lovely, distinctive, very sweet. Equal top marks, Oporto-bottled, at Gidleigh Park, still with leathery tannins. Coping miraculously at a Zachys/Christie’s charity dinner with chocolate soufflé. Showing well at the Primum Familiae Vini dinner at Vinopolis in November 2000. A superb bottle at a dinner party at home, May 2001. Two very recently: mature, soft tawny red; fragrant, flowery, a lovely wine. And, seven months later: classic bouquet and flavour. Perfect now. Last tasted Oct 2005 ***** Now - beyond 2015.
