Graham's Vintage Port 2024 (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Alluring red and black fruit aromas with hints of mint, eucalyptus and rockrose lead to a palate of kirsch, black plum and licorice. Rich yet beautifully balanced, with polished tannins and exceptional purity. A stunning, memorable Graham's Vintage Port.Blend: 55% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 9% Field Blend, 6% Sousão The 2024 Vintage Port was produced with a blend of 55% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, mostly from their Malvedos vineyards (but not exclusively), a 9% field blend of old vines and 6% Sousão from Quinta do Tua, another property separated from Malvedos by the Tua River. It fermented in stainless steel lagar with foot-treading robots and matured in large oak vessels for 18 months. The wine comes from very low yields, and the nose is phenomenal, very high on Touriga Nacional, with floral notes-orange blossom-a touch of resin, a typical Graham's eucalyptus/minty thing, really morish. This is a really delicious Graham's; it's a sweeter, very generous wine that tends to be velvety with good tannins and length, more powerful and concentrated. The tannins are more assertive than the Warre's, for example, and it has the grip from the Sousão. This is certainly going to be long lived. It's relatively dry at 107 grams of sugar. Range: 96-97 This shows dark fruit, notably blackberries, and is expressive overall. Full-bodied and voluptuous, with a textural profile of polished, subtly granular tannins that are broad through the finish. Rich, yet with a precise shape. Best from 2032.
