Graham’s 40 Years Old Tawny Port – Bottled 2013 – 75cl

A magnificent expression of mature Tawny Port from one of the Douro’s most historic houses, Graham’s 40 Years Old Tawny represents the pinnacle of Graham’s traditional aged-Tawny range. Founded in 1820, Graham’s built its reputation on exceptional Ports sourced from the Douro Valley. The 40 Year Old is assembled from extremely mature wines that have undergone decades of oxidative ageing in seasoned oak, with the final blend created to achieve the complexity, elegance and extraordinary concentration associated with very old Tawny Port. After decades in wood, the wine develops Graham’s characteristic mature Tawny profile: dried fruits, raisins, toasted nuts, caramel, toffee, spice and chocolate, combined with remarkable aromatic complexity and a long, elegant finish. Current descriptions characterize it as golden amber with a pale green hue at the rim, a classic visual signature of very old Tawny Port.
