1977 Graham's Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Grahams 1977 2 hours decanter time.
Clear and sparkling appearance. Pale rose rim. Nose of ethereal menthol, slightly too alcoholic for comfort. Sweet into the mouth, tasting of raspberries and redcurrants. Develops brown sugary overtones around the acidity at the centre of the wine. Midpalate complexity is lovely, with warm brioche and soufflé flavours and some surprisingly strong tannins. Long length of sweet cherry juice that slowly morphs into a warm and toasty coffee flavour. The length doesn't stop, but just keeps on going for ages. This is a really serious wine that has at least a further 5-10 years of development ahead of it. 95/100
