  Virtual Grahams Tasting (Sammamish, Washington): Dark, opaque purple in color with almost no lightening on the edges. Chocolate and dusty purple fruits on the nose. Very intense cranberry, pomegranate, and black currant on the palate. Some gritty tannins roll through the mid-palate onto the lush, rich finish.

  Spectacular. Intensely fragrant. Lots of blueberries, chocolate covered cherries and smoke laced vanilla. It’s ridiculously textured. Very suprised to report that the alcohol is not even discernible. We’re enjoying this at room temperature. If you could imagine the flavours of a brilliant Pomerol, with the elegance of a Vosne Romanee, then you can get an idea what this tastes like. It’s phenomenal and might prove to be immortal.

  Tasted at the Wine & Spirits Top 100 Symposium in NYC. This and the other 2017 Port's I tasted at this event have left me nearly speechless. Truly amazing. This is so rich, mouthcoatingly dense yet bright and full of chocolate and candied plums that you can almost chew it. Spectacular!

  Symington Vintage 2017 Presentation (NewWerkTheater, Amsterdam, NL): From two cooler plots at Malvedos: parcel 37, known as Cardenhos (a north-east-facing amphitheatre), and parcel 43, called Port Arthur (east facing), each of them with little more than 1,300 vines on, you guessed it, stone terraces. TA 4.22 g/l, Baumé 4. Bottled May 2019. Totally seamless, an incredible balancing act between freshness and elegance on the one hand, and a massive concentration of fruit on the other, fragrant nose with floral lift, the impressive structure is in perfect harmony and completely enveloped in flesh. Very long. Magical.
