The Story

This commemorative vintage port reveals an extraordinary aromatic scope of exotic açaí berry, fresh mint, and orange blossom. Seductive and opulent, the incredibly fresh palate delivers layers of concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry fruit framed by finely polished, muscular tannins.

Food Pairing: Outstandingly complements artisanal dark chocolate truffles, traditional rich walnut tarts, creamy blue cheeses, or elegant hazelnut mille-feuille desserts.

 

96 Points -

Lush, open and expressive, with captivating violet, boysenberry and mulberry aromas and flavors that stream forth, underscored by a mouthwatering licorice snap note. This has lots of energy in reserve, too. Best from 2038 through 2060.

94 Points -

A plump and juicy Graham with lots of iodine, plum and sweet-berry character. Some herb and mint, too. Medium-to full-bodied, very sweet and flavorful with lots of length. Fine tannins and refined character. Fresh and delicious. 3,000 bottles. One for earlier drinking. Try after 2028.

94 Points -

The 2020 Vintage Port is a blend of 25% Touriga Nacional, 40% Touriga Franca, 22% Sousão and various others, including a blend from old vines. It comes in with 118 grams of residual sugar after 18 months in old oak vats. This likely got a little extra incentive in terms of its declaration because of Graham's bicentenary, but it is a pretty good offering. Sweet and easy, this comes into a good place with just a couple of hours of aeration. It opens disjointed and angular, then resolves into a lovely Port with great fruit and good supporting structure. This needs some time. It should develop more and improve. When it gets to where it is going, it is going to be delicious. Let's start here, but plan on cellaring this. There were 3,000 bottles made in this bicentenary limited edition.
