Graham's 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port "The Apprentice" Gift Box (750ml)
MOP 800
Aroma:
Aromas of quince preserve (marmalade) with traces of vanilla and soft caramel and hints of honey and raisins. The wood ageing is reflected in the delicate almond and marzipan notes. An appealing smoky element is just perceptible in the background.
Tasting Notes:
Bright red fruit flavours, rounded by cask-ageing but still fresh and vital with an underlying citric acidity which gives the wine balance and poise. Satisfyingly long aftertaste with a subtle combination of walnuts, tea and tobacco.
Vintage: 1997
Description:
Price by bottle.
This wine captures the beginning of a journey – from apprentice to cellar master. It celebrates the profound knowledge of the vineyards and the mastery of tasting, which are essential requisites for crafting Graham’s exceptional wood-aged ports. At the time of the 1997 harvest, Graham’s current Head Winemaker, Charles Symington, was apprenticed to his father, Peter. While the year produced outstanding wines, which were bottled as Vintage Port, Peter chose some of the finest for extended wood-ageing. Over 25 years later, Charles has selected the remaining casks for limited bottling.
Graham’s 1997 Single Harvest is a fabulous accompaniment to creamy or nutty desserts such as crème brûlée or almond tart. It is also delicious on its own after a meal, as a dessert in its own right. It is recommended to serve the wine chilled. Once open enjoy within 6-8 weeks.
