Portugal

"Full bodied. Powerful. Still opaque; soft, sweet fleshy. Well endowed with fruit, alcohol and tannin for longevity. Magnificent. Drink 1998-2030. Potentially outstanding."

A fabulous year for vintage Ports and Graham 1983 is a perfect example of this quality. Rich and powerful showing all of Grahams. Drink over the next 10-12 years.

A unique mineral-scented character that is typical to Warre's that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1983 is richly perfumed and fragrant, a fine example of the ports from this vintage.

A younger tawny port from Graham's, aged for 10 years and balancing the direct sweetness of a younger wine with some of the richer flavours that develop with age.

The Krohn house style is one of elegance and refinement, as ever this LBV is excellent value. Roasted red fruits and burnt sugar on nose and palate.

Superb value to be had from the Carneiro family. A blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Fransesca. Plummy fruit and soft tannins.

Full in colour with a richness and big depth of fruit. The tannins are softening, to be sure, but there is still lots of body and power that will allow it to improve for many years.

Cassis and fruit up front on the palate finished by notes of toasted nut. A very versatile port, well balanced.

Brick red colour. Pronounced nose of sultanas, dried apricot and raspberry, and a touch of spice. The palate is rich and complex with layers of dried fruits, butterscotch, hazelnut, spice and cinnamon. Full and generous on the finish.
