Graham's 40 Year Tawny Port
Another gorgeous #tawnyport from @grahams_port, this was just a shade behind in energy and density from the 1972 Single Harvest. Though quite different as this showed the mastery of blending, while the 1972 showed the utter unique character only one vintage can show. Orang peel, zest, salted caramel, and subtle wood spice. A gorgeous tang on the palate balances the richness, fresh, but a long and persistent finish.

A true testament as to how time and patience can positively affect a wine. This is a combination of multiple generations of wine making and aging in well seasoned oak casks. Beautiful amber color with a greenish rim. Delicate aromas and flavors of dried fruits and raisins, figs, toffee, caramel, toasted nuts, orange zest and milk chocolate. Long and lingering finish which does not seem to quit. Multiple layers of complexity. Perfect balance of structure, acidity and sweetness. Both elegant and powerful at the same time. Just an amazing wine. Sincere thanks to my dear friend Mark S. for this incredible gift!

My last drop from bottle I brought back from Porto. Overall dun hue. This is like aged cured ham. It really makes me want to reach out for the Stilton.
