Graham's 50 Year Old Tawny Port
Fortified 20% ABV ABV GrahamsTried this at a tasting and wow
A wine shop near us did a port tasting evening and this was the showstopper at the end. So smooth for 20% — you genuinely cannot tell it's that strong. I got loads of coffee and walnut from it. Way out of my usual budget but I can see why people save up for bottles like this.
Incredible but hard to justify the price
Mate brought a bottle to a dinner party and we all shared it after dessert. It's stunning, no question — the orange marmalade thing is real, and the finish goes on forever. But £400 is a LOT of port. I've had 20 and 30 year tawnies that got me 80% of the way there for a fraction of the cost.
Once in a lifetime stuff
My wife got me this for my 50th birthday (fitting, right?) and honestly I'm not sure anything will ever top it. The dried fig and butterscotch flavours just keep going and going — I swear I could still taste it ten minutes after my last sip. Yes it's £400 but for a milestone occasion it was absolutely worth every penny.
Amazing port, just wish I could afford more
Had a glass of this at a restaurant and it honestly ruined other ports for me a little bit. So complex — I kept finding new flavours every time I went back to it, the citrus peel on the finish especially. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because at this price point I'd want it to literally change my life.
Christmas treat that lived up to the hype
Splashed out on this for Christmas Day and opened it with cheese and walnuts. Everything just worked together perfectly. It's rich but not heavy if that makes sense — there's a brightness to it that stops it being cloying. The hazelnut and dried fruit flavours are unreal. Genuinely special bottle.
