Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis LBV was bottled in 2020 after sixty months in cask, marking Graham's 200th anniversary since its inception in 1820. Graham's didn't declare a vintage in 2015, like the majority of houses. But 2015 has produced some spectacular LBVs at bargain prices. This shows luscious, dense dark fruits, with blackberry, blueberry, and fig, complemented by dried violets, orange peel, chocolate, and an array of spices. It's soft and lush, with a glass-straining level of concentration, that's as sweet and bold as it is fresh and elegantly balanced.Tasted: 25 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalGraham’s has been cultivating grapes for 200 years, primarily sourced from five iconic quintas in the Douro Valley. 2015 is a commemorative edition, bottled in 2020, marking Graham’s bicentenary (1820-2020), and sourced from four of Graham’s vineyards located in the mountainous Douro Valley. A wet winter and a dry growing season produced fully ripe grapes in 2015, laying the foundation for a fine LBV led by touriga franca. It is all matured in large oak barrels for 60 months. Traditionally on the sweet side of the LBVs, look for enticing floral, licorice with dried figs, and plum jam. The structure is smooth and long, with a hint of black tea in the finish. Ready to drink all winter. Serve with hard cheeses or roasted almonds.Tasted: 02 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:
