Purchased from Straker Chadwick. Bottled by Tanner's of Shrewsbury. Decanted for 13 hours. Medium ruby color. Dusty, rose tinged nose. This is a bigger wine than most of the other 1963 Vintage Ports. Intense strawberry palate. Very persistent. Very long, spicy finish. Excellent wine! 94 points.
My 3rd place wine. Group 4th place.
Definitely one of my favorites from 1963. I love this and when they show well, this Graham's is right up there with the top handful of the vintage. Glad yours showed so nicely!
This was one of my wines (the other was the 1963 Fonseca... non-corked version). This was from the same case as the bottle brought to the FTLOP anniversary tasting at Lisa's and showed similarly. It's nice when there is not wild bottle variation!
