  • Robert Parker, October 2002, Score: 94

    Wine Advocate #143 (Oct 2002) Robert Parker 94 points Drink 2002-2022 $80.00 Grapy, unformed, black raspberry liqueur and licorice-infused cassis notes leap from the glass of this opaque purple-colored wine. Sweet, plush, rich, and accessible, it is a forward, lush, concentrated effort that should drink well for two decades. While not one of Graham's most profound ports, it should evolve rapidly, providing immense crowd appeal.

  • Jancis Robinson, July 2002, Score: 18.5/20

    Truly excellent depth of healthy crimson, bursting with life. Surprisingly well integrated flavours on the nose combine to form an impression of bitter chocolate with a little treacle. Massive, soft palate entry. Surely this has been worked very hard in the cellar - robotic lagares or whatever? Quite different tannins to most others with great layers of ripe fruit. Very impressive and ultra-fruity. Thoroughly modern port - not the classic dry style, nor obviously old fashioned Portuguese sweet. Something new! My only reproach - slightly short. 18.5 Drink 2008-2030

  • Clive Coates, July 2002, Score: 19.5

    Graham 2000Very good colour. Splendid nose. Real quality here. Concentrated and fruity. Elegant and complex. Lots of dimension. Full, very fine tannins. Excellent depth of fruit. Lots of grip. This has even more to it than the Fonseca.

The history of W J Graham's spans three centuries and throughout that time this acclaimed Portproducer has remained an independent family business. The story of Graham's is the story of twofamilies, both of Scottish origin - the Grahams and the Symingtons - whose commitment to the making of memorable wines has earned for Graham's a reputation as a leader in the production ofoutstanding Vintage Ports.In 1890 Graham's became one of the first Port companies to invest in Upper Douro vineyards with theacquisition of the famous property; Quinta dos Malvedos. Since then, Malvedos has been recognized as one of the Douro Valley's finest ‘river Quintas,' and the quality of the wines from the vineyardcontinues to be fundamental to Graham's reputation as a leading producer of quite exceptionalVintage Port.In 1970 the Grahams sold the company to the Symingtons who brought with them their own rich heritage in the Port trade and who continue to develop the reputation of this historic company and its wines.Read less

Region

Port

Port is made in the Cima Corgo, Baixo Corgo and Douro Superior districts of the Douro Valley in the north of Portugal. The summers are hot and dry and the climate becomes more continental as you move further east towards the upper Douro Valley. Here temperatures often exceed 40 degrees. The Douro Valley has steep hillsides with terraces, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also extremely useful for making quality wine. The schist soils aid in drainage and have become very important to port production, so much so that much of the Douro table wines have been relegated to granite soils. The six main grape varieties used for port production are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Amarela. There are another 42 grape varieties that are permitted but these six are considered to be the noblest ones, each adding something different to the blend. After the harvest the grapes are trodden, often by foot but more often by machines, in giant lagars (troughs). Port is a fortified wine so during fermentation ‘brandy' (not actually brandy but a grape-distilled spirit) is added to increase thealcoholic strength to around 17-19 % abv. This leaves a sweet, red fortified wine with lots of vibrant fruit. There are many different types of Port from the Basic Ruby Ports, through to Tawny Ports and LBVs, to probably the most famous of all Vintage Port that can take 20 years to reach its peak. When mature, Vintage Port is a unique tasting experience with warm, concentrated spicy-fruit flavours and a superb length that just goes on and on.
