Graham's 1980
Vintage Port
A vastly underrated Vintage, which deserves much more acclaim.
Our Expert's Recommendation
"This wine is now beginning to reach its full maturity and is likely to be ready for drinking. As it ages further, it will begin to develop gently into a more tawny style wine. Drinking extremely well now, and is a very good buy, as it fetches modest prices yet is much better than other more expensive years."
Press Comments
"Medium garnet colour, this Graham offers spicy cinnamon, raspberry and licorice aromas. The nose might offer red fruits but the palate was densely packed with ripe blackberry fruit. This drinks well now and shows some prominent ripe tannins on the finish and a touch of spirit: nothing another decade can’t cure".
"Over a dozen admiring notes… Still plummily deep; good rich fig-like fruit; distinctly sweet, as one expects from Graham. Good length, somewhat tannic. More recently, nose of glorious richness; powerful, drinking well but time in hand."
"This is very impressive, with loads of fruit and tannins. Deep ruby, with a floral, cherry and plum nose, full-bodied, with medium tannins and sweet plum flavors on the finsh."
