2000 Graham's Vintage Port
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Burning, bursting and ripe aromas of figs, wild blueberry, and alcohol. Way too young, but magnificent. Perfectly ripe, excessive persistence, Then a portion is a tannic mess, then changes quickly to a finish, branded onto the palate, lasting more than 1 minute. I would like to see where this is in another 10 years. Will live to 100+ years. A great achievement.
