Graham's 2003 First Flight Colheita Port Gift Box (750ml)
MOP 350
Aroma:
On the nose, it reveals alluring soft caramel aromas with hints of vanilla and toffee overtones.
Tasting Notes:
The Graham’s 2003 Colheita is at a beautiful stage in its development, combining opulence, grace and complexity. It retains a youthful, deep crimson centre, bordered by an orange-brown rim that denotes the considerable length of time spent in seasoned oak casks. Full, creamy and sensuous on the palate with mouthfilling flavours of red fruit preserves and marmalade.
Vintage: 2003
Description:
Price by bottle.
This Port was made in 2003, an excellent harvest in the Douro Valley and the year that marked aviation’s centennial, 1903-2003. Peter and Charles Symington, Graham’s father and son winemaking team, chose the finest wines of the vintage, part of which they selected for bottling as Vintage Port, whilst a further selection of the finest lots were armarked for long-term ageing in seasoned oak casks for future release as Colheita Port; wines from a single harvest (‘colheita’ means harvest in Portuguese). When Peter retired in 2009, Charles succeeded him as head winemaker and taster and having closely followed the wines’ development he decided to further mature the 2003 wines in wood prior to bottling. The Graham’s 2003 Colheita release has been named ‘First Flight’ in celebration of the first century of aviation.
Graham’s 2003 First Flight Colheita Port is an excellent accompaniment to dark chocolate, caramel or vanilla based desserts, and can also be enjoyed alone, as a dessert in its own right. It is recommended that the wine be served lightly chilled to enjoy it at its best. Once open, the wine will keep in good condition for up to a month.
