    Graham’s 1983 Vintage Port
    A classic from one of the Douro’s most prestigious houses, the 1983 Graham’s Vintage Port exemplifies the estate’s rich, opulent house style. Now at full maturity, it offers layers of depth, complexity, and balance.

    Tasting Notes:
    The nose opens with an intense bouquet of stewed blackberries, figs, and cassis, interwoven with warm notes of cedar, liquorice, cocoa, and hints of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luxurious, delivering ripe dark fruit, dates, and sweet spice, supported by silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. The structure remains firm yet refined, showcasing its impressive aging potential.

    Drinkability:
    Now fully mature but still with excellent structure, the 1983 Graham’s can be enjoyed now or over the next 10+ years. Decant before serving to enjoy its full aromatic expression.

    Food Pairing:
    Perfect alongside blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, or simply enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner drink.

    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 vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous. The 1983, like most vintage ports, seems more forward than normal but has a great depth of very ripe, viscous, unctuous, plummy, tarry fruit and significant tannin in its long finish. It is black-purple in color. This is is certainly one of the top two or three ports of this vintage, and better than the excellent 1980. Parker Buying Guide 1989

    Transparent ruby. Fully evolved with beautiful round satin texture (all tannins fully dissolved) with a very winning combination of liquorice and haunting sweet red fruit. Very gorgeous. This is clearly a great vintage to enjoy now. 18.5/20 (10/2015)
