TN: 1978 Graham Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 12 hours - Deep colour, with a ring of sediment in the bottom of the glass. Slightly darker than the Graham 1970 shown alongside. Little on the nose, surprisingly blank. Sweet but hollow entry, very little fruit although plenty of structural acidity. Very much full of Granny Smiths acidic apple juice. Hinting at what might have been. TCA tainted, flattening the wine on show. NR points
