Graham’s 20 Years Old is made from wines of the very highest quality which, following careful selection, are matured in seasoned oak casks of 534 litres until their peak of maturity is reached. These are a number of the most demanding and challenging styles of Port to produce requiring great skill and years of experience from the winemaker and blender. It is very important to strike the proper balance between the delicacy and elegance which results from prolonged cask ageing whilst retaining the fruit quality which lends this old Tawny its structure and longevity.
Graham’s 20 Years Old represents superlative quality. Its principal attributes are great complexity and harmony. With an amber, golden tawny colour, denoting considerable age, Graham’s 20 Years Old has a very good bouquet, with a characteristic ‘nutty’ character (almonds) and delicious mature fruit with hints of orange peel, exquisitely mellowed by careful ageing. Wealthy, sweet and smooth on the palate, it’s perfectly balanced, with a long and lingering finish. This is a wonderful alternative to Vintage Port at less formal occasions and will keep for some weeks after opening.
Graham’s 20 Years Old pairs extremely well with nuts, dried fruits and fruitcake, but could also be delicious as an accompaniment to vanilla ice cream or creme brulee. Serve reasonably chilled to appreciate the full complexity and sensuous pleasure of this wine.
