2012 Grahams, Quinta Dos Malvedos

The consistency of quality of the wines from the Malvedos vineyard is such that in Vintage declarations they form the principal component of Graham’s classic Vintage Ports. In most intervening years, the wines from Malvedos merit bottling as standalone wines from a single vineyard: Graham’s Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port. This wine is deep, dark red colour with just a hint of fading along the edge. It has gorgeous black cherry and plum aromas, with a wonderful fresh fruit fragrance and distinct notes of eucalyptus and hints of mint and liquorice. It’s luscious and opulent flavours coat the palate with full, rich blackberry fruit, intense and compact.
