Graham 2000 and 2003 - 12/75 of each OWC
Posted: 11:35 Fri 07 Sep 2018
I have a case 12/75cl of each of these wines for sale. They are in original wooden cases and are in almost pristine condition. I have worked in the wine trade for over 30 years, and bought these directly from John Fells and Sons, the UK arm of the Symington port empire. They have been stored in the cellar of my house in Bedfordshire.
GRAHAM 2000: Wine Spectator 98/100.
Graham is a shining example of an established Port house pushing the boat out to make even better wines through better viticulture and wine-making methodology. This is the greatest young Vintage Port from Graham I have ever tasted, and perhaps it will be better in the long term than the legendary 1948. It smells like freshly picked orchids, with loads of ripe, clean fruit and then turns full-bodied, medium-sweet and very powerful in the mouth with big velvety tannins. It lasts for minutes on your palate. There’s great balance and class to this young Vintage port. Best after 2014.
GRAHAM 2003: Wine Enthusiast 96/100
This is a great Port, from a great brand. It is packed with solid, structured, rich and intense black fruit flavours. Its tannins show considerable ageing potential. It is a big, ripe wine, balanced by a long, lingering dark aftertaste.
