Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage 2019
This 2019 Late Bottled Vintage Port was produced from grapes sourced from Graham’s four vineyard estates located in various prime sites in the mountainous Douro Valley. At Quinta dos Malvedos, Graham’s flagship vineyard, we had some exceptionally well-timed rain at the end of August (22mm), which made a real difference two weeks before the vintage was due to start. This compensated for the very dry conditions through most of the spring and summer.
Reviews
Graceful and tight-knit, displaying oodles of ripe blackcurrant and blackberry charm. Boldly textured with well-framed, grippy tannins and a lovely tension of fruit-led acidity. Delicious.
The wine is beautifully balanced, rich with black currant and a hint of licorice delivered with poise. The eucalyptus and mint perfumed aroma is emblematic of this wine's character. This Port comes from the Symington family's eastern Cima Corgo terraced vineyards in the Douro. - Roger Voss
