 Tasted by jlgnml on 2/24/2024: MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of magnum. Released 10 of their very last remaining bottles commemorating His Majesty making Charles III’s,75th bday. (223 views)
 Tasted by potates on 4/16/2018 & rated 96 points: Fabulous depth and richness...lasted 3 weeks under Vacu-Vin. (2372 views)
 Tasted by depechemoroder on 7/9/2017 & rated 97 points: Spirited and highly spiced, it's almost impossible to describe the complexity and depth of palate this shows. There is an expanse of flavour and structure I have not experienced in another wine. This is a wine that is in charge and turns your cheese course into something out of this world. Exceptional. (2663 views)
 Tasted by docm on 7/30/2014 & rated 100 points: still sweet, balanced, perfect mature port (4620 views)
 Tasted by Old Claret on 12/27/2010 & rated 97 points: (97-98) Drank at home with the usual Stilton and home-made truffles, along with Justin, Ann Albin and the Alexanders. Decanted several hours prior. Delicious! Cherry overtones, supple, long finish, elegant, rich. (5475 views)

Graham Porto Vintage

In the earlier part of the 20th century, this wine was bottled with different labels. Within the same vintage and the same wine, it would be labeled "Vintage" and "Finest Reserve" depending on where it was released and who the distributing agent was.

For consistency's sake, we have opted to use only the "Vintage" name for this wine. That is what Graham has settled on going forward. Searching for "Graham's Finest Reserve" will lead to this entry.

Port Blend

Over a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
