Marks and reviews

/100

Falstaff

Dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. A hint of dark couverture and apricot confit à la Sachertorte, sweet pipe tobacco, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, integrated sweetness, ripe plum, vivid, supporting tannins, mineral finish, delicate honey aftertaste, will develop quickly.

/20

Weinwisser

Complex, seductive spicy-fruity bouquet with tobacco, cassis, coffee, fresh blueberries and a hint of vanilla. Crisp tannic structure on the palate, slightly less opulent red-berry fruit and spicy notes. Long, fresh finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Mark Squires

The 2019 Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines (80 to 100 years old) aged for 21 months in large Portuguese oak vats. It comes in with 88 grams per liter of residual sugar and 19.3% alcohol. This was originally seen about three months after bottling. It has settled in a bit, but it still has a long life ahead. Fresh, as always, this also has a beautiful expression of fruit. It is delicious and ripe, with many more years ahead. It isn't drinking too badly now, but of course it has not even begun to acquire complexity. This is a beauty, but its best years are ahead.

Characteristics and tasting notes for Graham's Vintage Port 2019

Tasting

Nose
Fine and reserved in its youth, the nose releases primary fragrances of dark fruits and spices.

Palate
Refined, the palate captivates with its subtle harmony between intense aromas of dark berries and tannins of great finesse. The palate extends with amplitude and elegance to an aromatic and persistent finish.

Food and wine pairings

This Vintage Port pairs ideally with cheeses ("Queijo da Serra", Stilton, blue cheeses) or chocolate desserts, or simply by enjoying a few pieces of dark chocolate.
