2006 Graham’s Malvedos Vintage Port:
Another “Squid Ink” colored Port with lots of tanky notes on the nose, this is one beast of a wine. Full throttle blackberries, chocolate and a wall of tannins are amazing. But the amount of complexity on the palate is where this really shined for such a young Port. Many people have written off 2006 as being not a good year, they obviously haven’t tasted this little gem. While I put a range in, my notes state “More to 94 than 92.”
92-94 Points
