1997 Graham

Graham made one of the top three vintage ports in 1997, for some the best wine of all. 97 is maturing relatively faster than 94, but is still of course, a youngster. This wine has a deep, dense colour, a still primary nose dominated by macerated fruit, pepper and a hint of soot; its tannins are tight, stentorian even, they hold the secret to its future, which seems assured indeed.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Deep crimson. Thick, sweet and concentrated. Round and full and unctuous. Lots of macerated prunes and confidence. Lively and dense with real richness but a correct structure. Some floral notes and some dry tannins on the finish. Not quite married but a definite tea flavour. Dry finish.
