Grahams Millenium 1977 VP

[/2alph]

Hi

Does anyone know what kind of bottling the "Millenium" vintage port is?

Thanks for answers

Hi (R?)alph, welcome to . The Symingtons released all three of Graham, Warre and Dow 1977 vintage ports in magnums with special "millenium" labels and wooden boxes. I would assume these were released in 2000 to celebrate the turn of the millennium (I know they were pre-2005, but not the actual date of release). They will contain their respective 1977 vintage ports, which would have been bottled in Porto in 1979, and may or may not have been re-corked prior to release.

To clarify a bit what Phil stated. The re-release of this Port to celebrate the new century had these labels. Originally released and previous re-releases have a standard label. There are a number of different labels for this Port depending on when and where it was released.

Thank you for the answers! I also asked the Symingtons. All that you guys wrote is right. The bottles were sadly not recorked.

Why sadly not recorked?

Thus the cork in 30 years still comes out well. But actually I open it anyway with the tongs
