Dark rubi robe, nose of violets, dark cherries and liquorice. Medium bodied, long, plushy and velvety tannins, very fresh and balanced. Great classical Douro red that is very good now and will be excellent in 3 to 5 years. Fantastic QPR. — 3 months ago

browner colour, smells of burnt caramel, apricots, amber honey - very syrup-y. not as sweet as the other port. tastes like raisins, maple syrup-esque. tastes similar to the maple syrup taffy/lollipops. not as fruity as the other port. after chocolate the flavours are softened and honestly not as sweet — 7 months ago

#AgedWineTuesday

Ruby in color and cloudy, with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Sweet nose with cedar, vanilla, honey and chocolates.

Sweet on the palate with black fruits, tobacco, cereal, vanilla, licorice, light wood, chocolates, coffee, light cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 29 year old is still drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced and elegant. Rich and fruit forward.

I don't see it getting any better from this point on. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and a gorgeous dessert wine.

93 points.

A really good bottle of 1983 Graham’s, but it shows the tannic structure of the vintage and, also, the lack of traditional Graham’s sweetness makes the alcohol stand out; with that all said, still an enjoyable bottle of aged vintage Porto!! — 6 months ago

Oak intermingles nicely w cherry sweetness. Red-orange color is perfect. Strong aromas delivered in richness. Thought I was a white wine person, but the balanced, sweet freshness of a port is becoming my new favorite indulgence — 7 months ago
