1977 Graham’s Vintage Port
A light ruby to a pink edge, this was a bit more advance in color than other bottles I’ve had. The nose was very woody, but underlined with raspberries. Very silky on the tounge, that Christmas cake spice again jumped out at me. There was some heat on the mid palate, which is less than I’ve had before and something that would have been less with a longer decant. This is showing better than a couple of years ago when that heat was far to excessive. 91-92 points
