Graham's The Tawny Port
Fortified 20% ABV ABV GrahamsGood value tawny
The guy at Majestic recommended this when I said I wanted to try port but didn't want to spend loads. It's nice — nutty and sweet but not sickly. Does the job well enough, though I wonder if spending a bit more would get you something really special.
Christmas in a glass
Got this as a birthday present and it's brilliant with cheese and dark chocolate. The dried fruit flavours are bang on and it doesn't burn your throat like some ports do — the alcohol is really well hidden for 20%. Will definitely be picking up another bottle for Christmas.
Decent but not blown away
It's fine? Like it tastes good, the caramel notes are nice and it's smooth enough. But for £23 I expected a bit more depth honestly. My mate brought round a cheaper ruby port last week that I enjoyed just as much. Might be a tawny thing — still figuring out what I prefer.
Perfect after-dinner sipper
Bought this for a dinner party and it was the star of the evening. Really lovely caramel and dried fruit thing going on, and it's dangerously easy to drink for 20%. At around £23 it's a solid buy — we finished the bottle before anyone noticed.
Reliable go-to port
Had this at a restaurant a while back and liked it enough to grab a bottle from the supermarket. It's got a lovely warmth to it and the finish keeps going for ages. Not the most complex port I've tried but at this price point it's hard to complain. Good with a bit of stilton after Sunday roast.
