Description
The 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is a stunning embodiment of opulence and complexity, celebrated with a remarkable score of 97 points from The Wine Advocate.

This ultra-rich wine is vibrant and impeccably balanced, promising to age gracefully for another 25-30 years, making it a candidate for wine of the vintage. Jancis Robinson awarded it 18+ points, noting its immediate appeal with rich, round fruitiness and hidden tannins.

"A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam of ripe black fruits, and a hint of chocolate in the background. This leads to a dense, super-rich, plush, opulent wine that hides its structure under all the fruit. Vibrant, impeccably balanced, and exceptionally lengthy, it will easily age for another 25-30 years in the cellar and drink well through 2050, probably longer. It is a tour de force." - Jay S Miller.
JANCIS ROBINSON 18+ points
Blackish purple. Very rich and spicy and immediately attractive and rather luscious on the nose. Violets, liquorice and very flattering. Round and extremely fruity – so much less obviously tannic and dry than many. Is there enough tannin here? It's certainly very well hidden! Literally gorgeous now but I wonder how it will age? Again, as with Fonseca, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that it has been made to age and that underneath all that voluptuous fruit is enough tannin for a long life. Certainly persistent. (JR)
