Bill sips a vintange - 1977 Graham's


My first attempt to taste this wine was cancelled due to a cold. Having since recovered, it was time to sip port. My review was similar to Lamont's and I agree that this wine will only improve with a few more years.

Graham's 1977 Vintage
Translucent purple-red in color. The nose is sweet and thick with jammy red fruits. The palate is fully fleshed out with exceptional notes of raspberries, plums and a touch of vanilla. The tannis are soft and the finish is long and smooth. Nothing two dimensional about this wine; it is very well balanced. It is delicious now, and should improve over the next ten years. Livingston, 4/2008.
