Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port, 1989

Port

Taylor’s, Cockburns, Crofts, Dow, Grahams, Churchill.

Although not specifically about Grahams vintage port I have placed this op here I have had a bottle or 2 of grahams in the past , it is a mighty fine port.

PASS THE PORT PLEASE.(from the left( not sure why I have heard its an Army tradition because you draw your sword with your right and you pass port with left to show there is no danger?(well ...
...we took the opportunity to buy some while when we passed through Andorra. (Bit cheaper there.)
When you think of port do you think of Christmas time, feeling full after a Christmas dinner? Sitting round a log fire, Stilton cheese? (I do not like Stilton I prefer a nice piece of mature cheddar)

I like port at any time of the year. (Although it is more of a winter warming drink) It is a warm comforting fortified wine a rich full-bodied sweet dark red or amber brown. Smooth, luxurious, rich, elegant, sophisticated.

Port originates from the Douro region of Portugal.

A ruby port is one that is made of wines from different years blended together and matured

Tawny port remains longer in the cask than a ruby making it an amber brown colour tasting softer and drier. Is also made from wines of different years.

A vintage port is made exclusively of wines from the same year, is 2 to 5 years in the wood. Mmmmmm I love that image wooden casks full of deep red port, let me get to them (now now I mustn’t get carried away)

White port is made from white grapes.
I have had some cheap rough Ports in my time. Port’s can come very expensive those are out of my league.

I have a bottle of Porto Barros vintage 1979 in front of me and a bottle of Old porto Westport 10 ans (10 yrs) looks a classier bottle.
They are unopened, alcohol in the morning no not for me I may try one tonight. I finished a bottle of Barros vintage 1984 last week. It was pleasant left me feeling all warm and cosy.

Thank you for reading I must put these Port’s away before I am tempted its breakfast time.
