Graham's
Graham's
The tale of Graham’s is a story of two families, one founding and one guiding the property to the very highest heights. Founded in 1820 by the Graham brothers, theirs was one of the first companies to invest in their own vineyards in the Douro Valley rather than the common practice at the time of exclusively buying fruit in.
Its acquisition by the Symington Family Estates added this property to the greatest assembled portfolio of fortified wines in Portugal, tucking it neatly under the auspice of the five Symington cousins led by winemaker Charles. Known for its intense floral aromatics, opulent fruit and adventurous flair, Graham’s declares a vintage in nothing but the very finest years.

Vinous (96+)Bright, deep, saturated ruby. Liqueur-like ripeness to the deeply fruity aromas of kirsch, black raspberry and cassis. Thick, sweet and seamless, with a silky texture and great depth to its utterly primary dark berry and spice flavors. Wonderfully pure, intense young port with outstanding finishing sweetness, well-judged oakiness and big, ripe, noble tannins. Leaves behind exhilarating kirsch and violet notes on the extremely long finish, with a note of bitter chocolate emerging with extended aeration. This fleshy beauty boasts beautifully managed tannins and outstanding aging potential. |

Decanter (98)Based on Touriga Franca from south-facing slopes at Quinta dos Malvedos, with Touriga Nacional from quintas Vila Velha and Vale de Mealhadas (both predominantly north-facing), topped out with fruit from old vines at Quinta da Tua and 10% Sousão. It's a very deep blue-black colour with an expressive, super-ripe nose of plum, mint and bergamot which springs from the glass. The palate is rich, velvety and voluptuous in typical Graham’s style. The initial richness makes the tannins, which show up on the ripe, broad, mouthwatering finish. Wonderful purity and definition. A real wow of a wine! 3.9 Baumé. |

James Suckling (100)The aromas here are amazing: crushed blueberries and raspberries with wet earth and dried flower. Orange blossom. Tar and stone. Full body, very sweet but the powerful and fine-grained tannins balance the wine out. Tannins and fruit envelop your mouth with each sip. Great potential. Single vineyard port. 600 cases. Try after 2030. |
