Graham's 1983
Vintage Port
An outstanding Vintage which produced a very muscular wine.
Description
Some shippers opted for 1982 however it would seem that 1983 has turned out to be the better wine. Stylish, big with good balance of fruit and tannin.
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. The fruit that has hitherto been rather subdued is now opening up very nicely. A great treat."
Press Comments
"Lovely deep nose. Violet, floral. Fresh, dry finish. Excellent length and body. Very good, left for further aging."
“Lovely withdrawn nose with underlying concentration. Lots of bitter chocolate. Powerful, concentrated with lovely purity of fruit and ripe tannins, very fine. Lovely now, with a long way to go”
“Beautiful nose, with rich hints of dark chocolate. Well-balanced, with well-structured flavours and a slightly earthy quality.”
"Fullish colour. Rich, raw, backward nose. But there is a lot of class and depth and complexity here. Fullish, still backward. Rich, meaty, multi-dimensional flavours. Slightly cooked plums, but in a 1982 claret sense. Very fine. Very good balance. Long. Subtle finish. Excellent".
"There are some classic wines, notably GRAHAM with its cinnamon and nutmeg spiciness and powerful fruit"
