My last of these. Initially had a surprising red fruit profile and showed more alcohol than I expected. Showed better on day #2, taking on a thicker more expansiveness and richness.

Tasting at Graham’s (Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal): Deep ruby. Aromas of ripe fruit and chocolate. Relatively lighter feel. Very pure with excellent acidity. It already has very nice secondary notes in the mouth and more than just the fruit flavors. Elegant, excellent young Vintage Port.

From a half bottle, coravinned. This was mild to moderately corked. My second corked half of Graham recently. I don't think I'm buying more. Planned to do a vertical 1991-2007 but if half are corked, what's the point?

Drinking very well now. Dark purple in colour. Notes of Black licorice and blackberry. Will be drinking very well for years to come.
