1987 Graham’s Malvedos Vintage Port:
Sill a very deep purple and not showing any signs it’s almost 23 years old. Another sweeter vintage at 3.9 Baumé. Wow, again so young it’s amazing! Big dark cherries and pepper are offset by the large chewy tannins. Again that cedar pops up on the very long finish. This is another stunning Port and adds to my theory that 1987 should have been a declared year. This is only just a little less complex than the 1986, but that’s splitting some fine hairs. 95 Points

I've always had a soft spot for this wine and along with the Vargellas, imo, it is about as good as they come (from 1987)!
