1966 Graham's Vintage Port

[Jay Powers]

Grahams 1966 Vintage Port

First bottle from a fresh case purchased at AIW around one month ago. Decanted around 6 PM and served at 8 PM Thanksgiving evening. Decanted very cleanly and a light pink to start with. Immediatly after decanting a little heat but the beauty of this port was already coming through. After dinner starting around 8 PM this had hit it's stride, a stunning wine, and this bottle reminds me why this is my favorite-semi-affordable VP. Aroma of violets, supersmooth. Got even better as the night wore on. Seems like this is not on the way down yet and will continue on it's plateau for at least another decade. One of my very favorite ports.

97 points or 9-9 on the Uncle Tom scale
