(1989)
This is an extremely full-bodied, powerful wine, but it still retains a classy balance. Deep ruby, with chocolate and berry aromas, full-bodied, with anise and dried cherry flavors, full, hard tannins and a long finish. Good now but a few more yearsof bottle age would improve it.

Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port. Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era. Their tawnys are quite good rather than exceptional, but their vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous. The 1970 is a monumental vintage port and one of the greats of the vintage.-

Graham's Porto, Porto, vin de Portugal. Graham's is undoubtedly one of the leading areas in the production of Puerto rich and concentrated. The Graham's Ports are closely related to their vineyard Malvedos located on the northern slopes of the Douro, west of the town of Tua.
