1960 Graham's Vintage Port

Post by Andy Velebil »

Decanted about 3 hours. Soft and sweetly textured with loads of Christmas cake spices, cigar box, and dried fruit. The long similar finish didn't disappoint. A wonderful VP that is fully mature and on a good plateau where it should remain for many more years.
95 Points

You should've joined us for the 8 bottle horizontal we had of 1960 at the 10th anniversary celebration weekend, Moses.

Andy, do you feel this bottle was similar to the showing we had last month?
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Uh, we didn't have a 1960 Graham's last month. We had Avery, Croft, Sandeman, Warre, Dow's, Ferreira, Fonseca, and Noval. Of those I though this showed much better than all of them. My highest rated was the Warre's at 93 Points. Most of the 1960's were fully mature or a bit past best IMO.
