Het fluweelzachte mondgevoel van de Graham’s 40 jaar oude Tawny is meesterlijk geblend met een verbluffende balans van zuren en zoet. Tot ver in de afdronk vervullen tonen van noten, rozijnen, karamel en chocolade uw smaakpapillen. De Port wordt na traditionele vinificatie gerijpt in grote houten vaten van 534 liter waardoor de Port zijn karakteristieke Tawny karakter krijgt.
Proefnotities/Punten:
A warm, lush style, with brown bread, fig compote, ginger marmalade and date flavors coating the palate before streaks of bitter orange and almond kick in, imparting cut and enlivening the finish. A note of incense weaves around it all, adding intrigue.

Very pale fox red. This wine must date from very soon after the Symingtons took over Graham’s and must contain masses of wine that pre-dates their era. Wonderfully waftily perfumed. Some rancio but the sweetness and featherlight orange peel impression trumps it. It’s like being caressed by a feather. With some walnuts on the finish. Very delicate but such a treat.
