Malmsey Madeira, 10 Years Old.

Verdelho Madeira, 10 years old.

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.

The extraordinary quality of the wines from the Malvedos vineyard is such that in Vintage declarations these wines provide the main structure of Graham's classic Vintage Ports. In most interim years, the wines from Malvedos merit bottling as a Single Quinta Vintage Port: Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port.

Graham’s 20 Year Old Tawny is a Port wine perfected over two decades to delight those in the pursuit of excellence. Matured in seasoned oak casks for an average of twenty years, most wine lovers consider the 20 Year Old the perfect age and balance of maturity for a truly great Port.

Retaining a deep and youthful colour, the nose has intense black fruit characters, with notes of sweet spices, liquorice and vanilla. The palate has structure and concentration, with rich, ripe plum and cherry flavours, more spice and firm tannins. It is drinking well now, but still has many years ahead.

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.

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.
