"Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era." - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

 

"This is a classic example of Graham’s in its more extroverted and fruit-driven style, and it should continue to drink well." - John Gilman

First vintage made by the Syms – a vintage that effectively paid for the purchase of Graham's. A wine with a particularly interesting history. The Portuguese revolution broke out just after this was shipped. As an insurance policy the Syms bought back some 1970s and stored them in the north at Whittalls. They sell it at a premium today. The decision to buy Graham's was crucial for the Symingtons - they had great stocks. This was the last year that vintage port could be bottled in the UK. Dark garnet. Very bright. High-toned and fresh on the nose and beautifully dry and liquorice and yet full of glorious floral fruit. Dry but not drying finish. Real beauty now. Long and glorious. - Jancis Robinson 
 
1977 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port

(750ML) $299.99 (In Stock) Buy Now

97 WS / 96 RP / 95 WA / 18.5 JR

Good ruby color still. The nose is fresh, with lots of crushed berry and plum, with a hint of piecrust. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a caressing texture. This delivers loads of complex fruit and spiciness. Medium-sweet. A beauty. Will improve for decades, but why wait? - James Suckling, Wine Spectator
