  • My mother's father sent to each of us surviving grandchildren a bag of shelled English walnuts from the tree in his backyard in the year before he died. Until tonight I wondered why. I had some English walnuts with a glass of this wine, as with previous notes from a 375. Good Stilton is often said to be a great pairing with vintage Oporto But, Stilton changes the taste of Oporto. English walnuts are in perfect harmony with Oporto but do not at all intrude in the taste. I am certain my Grandfather Thomson never tasted vintage Graham Oporto or any Oporto. But he knew how good English walnuts tasted. He taught me a tasting lesson.

  • From 375ml. This seems to be really coming into its own, but still needed some air to truly shine. Would hold full bottles a while longer.

  • Bob's cellar. Still a deep red, age showing through. Has barely changed since the last bottle, perhaps showing a little more age but still the prunes, raisins and a warm sweetness. Beautiful again.

  • Stood up two weeks in advance. Decanted for five hours. Drank over four days. Medium ruby in the glass. A powerhouse of a Port that required at least a day to settle down. This is a delight - it’s deep, brooding, and heady with raisins, marzipan, muscovado sugar, and crushed cinnamon sticks all wrapped in bitter dark chocolate. Texturally unctuous with great balance and harmony; the richness expertly offset by the acidity. An absolute joy.
