Possesses Graham’s typical rich, concentrated fruit with a strong underlying grip of firm tannins. This well-structured Vintage was initially underestimated, but has since been recognized for its great value. Graham’s 1980 is considered one of the best Vintage Ports.
Wine Spectator score: 90/100
Origin: Portugal, Douro, Malvedos vineyard
Port style: Graham’s Vintage Port 1980

Tasting notes:
This port is highly impressive, with lots of fruit and tannin. Deep ruby colour with floral, cherry, and plum aromas. Full-bodied, with medium tannins and sweet plum flavours on the finish.
Food & Spice:
Best enjoyed on its own after lunch or dinner, but can also be paired with rich aged cheeses or a relaxing cigar.
