Malvedos Vintage Port 2005 Graham

Professionele reviews

This late release is in a good place right now, with gently mulled plum, blackberry and fig fruit flavors infused with singed anise, tobacco and alder notes. Offers a light ganache coating on the finish, which has a smoldering feel.

The cork – finally – came out of the bottleneck, leaving many a fragment in the wine. You are warned! Dark garnet. Round and evolved with some real richness and an undertow of prunes in armagnac. Lots of punch and character here. At £20 it's quite a steal. It has the trademark Graham's ripeness but has structure too. Slightly fiery – a real mouthful of the Douro. Lots to enjoy here. And not too chewily youthful... GV (JR)

Quinta dos Malvedos is Graham's flagship vineyards. This single quinta vintage, made in a year when no general vintage was declared, shows the great structure and fine perfumes that comes from this privileged site. Rich in plummy black fruits, powered still by tannins, the wine is approaching maturity. Drink now, although it will age for many years. Roger Voss
