1960 Graham

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

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.
