1960 Graham
Double decanted at 19.30 the night before the tasting and drunk at 20.00 the following day. Bottled by JG Thomson of Leith. Slightly low fill. Mature bronze colour, 30% opaque. Slightly odd nose, a little subdued and lacking in fruit. The texture is nicely thickened but the flavours are a little hollow on entry. However, the flavours build nicely on the mid-palate; but perhaps the fruit is starting to fade with a slightly dry edge to the palate. Aniseed aftertaste, a lovely long finish. Nice, but not magnificent as Graham 1960 should be. 90/100. Drunk at the TPF Awards on 07-Feb-23. Decanted 1 day.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

G60, decanted 19:30. Re-pink, 30% opaque. Nose soft, with faint cherries. Palate hot, light, and much past its prime. Alas it has waited for too long.

45% opacity, lovely rich red, caramels on the rim. Superb nose, caramel, dried oranges. Full, rich, chewy, sweetness, lovely orange/marmalade. 2 points from me.
