Grahams 2011 Vintage Port

Grahams 2011 Vintage Port

Grapes:  A blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 31% Touriga Franca, 6% Sousao and 23% mixture of various other very old vines, hand harvested, sourced from 5 quintas (Malvedos, Tua, Vila Velha, das Lages and Vale de Malhadas)

Producer Tasting Note:

Purple-black to the rim with fine aromas of blue violets, black China tea and ripe red fruit. On the palate, it offers an initial taste of powerful and vigorous fruit, merging into flavours of bitter black chocolate and fine acidity with balanced and mature, but not dry, tannins. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Meaty and concentrated. Really covers the palate – full width. Seems drier than most of the components on the finish but thoroughly exciting and complete. Spicy and noble. Minerally finish." Drink 2025–2060

19/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, May 2013

"Deliciously sweet and perfumed, its powerful plum fruit flavors make this wine already accessible. In the background are the tannins—solid and concentrated—and the acidity, creating a nervous tension that confirms the wine's aging potential. Hold for many years."
