NV Graham Tawny 40YO
Pale orange rim, amber core. Stunning nose, wonderfully expressive, showing orange caramel and hazelnut. Honey palate, with orange and marmalade dominant. Full of flavour, with layer after layer of expression. This wine just gets bigger and better as it sits on the palate. A little heat on the aftertaste but the toasted sugar and nuttiness gradually settles in and stays for several minutes. On balance, however, I prefer the freshness of the 30YO over the intensity of the 40YO - but how wonderful to have the chance to compare the two against each other. 93/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
