Parker about Vintage Port 1977
Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port. Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era. Their tawnys are quite good rather than exceptional, but their vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous.

Vintage Port 1977
Graham's Vintage Port 1977 is a legendary port wine produced by the renowned port wine brand Graham's. The 1977 vintage is considered one of the finest in the history of port wine and has given this wine exceptional quality.
Graham's Vintage Port 1977 presents a deep, almost impenetrable crimson color, indicating its intensity and concentration. Over the years, the wine may have undergone some aging and color development.
On the nose, the wine unfolds complex aromas of dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and cassis. These fruity notes are accompanied by tantalizing spice nuances, including cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Subtle hints of chocolate, tobacco, and cedarwood are also evident. The aromas are rich, complex, and offer a wealth of olfactory pleasures.
On the palate, Graham's Vintage Port 1977 impresses with its richness and silky texture. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, giving the wine a pleasant fullness. The fruity aromas continue on the palate and are accompanied by a balanced acidity that adds freshness to the wine. The port wine has a long, lingering finish characterized by impressive complexity and depth.
Having matured for several decades, Graham's Vintage Port 1977 has reached its full potential and offers an exceptional drinking experience. This port wine is ideal as an after-dinner digestif and pairs well with chocolate desserts or aged cheeses. It is a true delight for port wine lovers who appreciate the rich history and tradition of this fine wine variety.
