Re: 1983 Graham Vintage Porto
This never gets much notice even though it is about as good as any Port from this vintage. The rare un-corked Cockburn's is about the only other really fine 1983, along with Nacional from an otherwise mediocre vintage. However, I think that some Ports from 1983 ... like the Dow, still have a long life ahead.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
