1963 Graham Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 4.5hrs - Stock sourced from the Unwins liquidation sale. Burnished orange in colour, with a rose rim. A touch of burnt toffee of the nose with some harshness and some fruit. Sweet entry, with unusual almond shortbread; strengthening acidity supports the flavours. Very sweet fruit, although a bit lighter than usual. Some roughness on the palate, with light and dusty tannins. Air and work releases generous sweet fruit. A hot burst on the aftertaste, then a long and delicious finish of great length. There are hints of what this wine should deliver on the finish, but the nose and palate are disappointingly harsh. 89 points
