Outstanding, drinking beautifully.

Red with a brick edge. Lilacs with a hint of licorice. Syrup-like cherry (kirsch) along chocolate with a smooth long finish. Still with some firm tannins. Should keep for another 5 - 8 years.

Nice hearty Port. not to sweet. One of the best ports I have ever had.

Initially decanted for 2 hours. Aromas of blackberry liqueur and candied black cherries with a healthy dose of coffee, licorice and caramel. The smell of fresh asphalt in scorching sunshine also tickle the olphactory nerve just the right way to create a wonderful and exotic sensory extravaganza. Blackberries with a little tart cherry in the back getting smoked out, mellowing out with the smooth tannins and really enjoying hanging out on the palate for a long time. They even have a couple more friends like red apple and spice come around to say hi at the end of the day. It is an ink bomb about to go off in your shirt pocket and you'd want to lick the shirt clean. It is that good. Had with my favorite chocolate cupcake with caramel, chocolate and sea-salt icing. Great way to end a Wednesday! Visit my website: St. Henry Brewery - brewing 'til the bitter end!

Appearance: Standard medium-ruby, medium rim. Very enjoyable wine for $10.95. Big thumbs up!!

A great drink, solid, bold, full of flavor.

Maybe coulda been 90, didn't take good notes, but it was very solid.

Young and fruity, but easy to drink wine.

This wine is an unusual blend of 45% Tempranillo, 20% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest coming from a Portuguese field blend. Lafite Rothschild owns this Quinta. As a result, there is enough money available for this wine to see a little new oak but much of its upbringing is in old oak casks (which therefore impart little if any oak flavors). The wine has muffled dried out red fruit aromas with a sour finish. Avoid.

Medium red color with significant lightening on the edges. Sweet plum on the nose. Unfortunately, this wine has not developed the complexity I expect in vintage port ? slightly dumb at present. Perhaps with time the wine will display the complexity the best vintage ports show although this may be wishful thinking.

Graham's has traditionally been my favorite Port producer (even though Taylor's is arguably of higher quality). 1963 and 1977 Graham's are the obvious highlights of Graham's recent oeuvre. The 2000 is not as good as either of those wines and at present reminds me of a less structured 1985 (or perhaps more properly a slightly juiced 1980). I tasted this wine over a 24-hour period after splash decanting. Opaque red purple color that lightens at the edge. Few very thick and slow moving legs with slight pigmentation. Alcohol, white pepper, and indistinctive and reticent red fruit aromas. Sweet and grapy in the mouth with peppery overtones. The wine has plenty of drying tannins in the moderately long finish. The wine became tired after 24 hours (not a good sign). Drink 2020 to 2030+. 92 points (but more than usually I am giving anticipated credit for the history of how well this wine develops over time).
