Richly coloured, the Graham has dense and powerful aromatics, with crushed
blackberry and plum fruit flavours entwined with rich spice, earth and hints of
black cocoa. A magnificent weight on the palate captures the profundity of the
best fruit from the best A grade vineyards, with Quinta Do Malvedos, as always,
at the centre of the action. Sweetness and power vie for attention; ripeness is
all, and all-embracing in this fabulous wine.

Very rich and spicy and immediately attractive and rather luscious on the nose.
Violets, liquorice and very flattering. Round and extremely fruity - so much
less obviously tannic and dry than many. Is there enough tannin here? It's
certainly very well hidden! Literally gorgeous now but I wonder how it will
age? Again, as with Fonseca, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that it has
been made to age and that underneath all that voluptuous fruit is enough tannin
for a long life. Certainly persistent.

A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is
complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume
of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam of ripe black fruits, and
a hint of chocolate in the background. This leads to a dense, super-rich,
plush, opulent wine that hides its structure under all the fruit. Vibrant,
impeccably balanced, and exceptionally lengthy, it will easily age for another
25-30 years in the cellar and drink well through 2050, probably longer. It is a
tour de force.

Great nose of crushed blackberry, currant and grape skin. Intense. Full-bodied,
dense and beautiful, with big, polished tannins and a long, long finish. Very
sweet. This is a superb young vintage Port. Could match or better the fabulous
2000 Graham.
