WINE DESCRIPTION
W. & J. Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port is a wonderful expression of the classic Port style. Distinctly dark and inky, this fortified wine is full of ripe, concentrated fruit flavors that are balanced with a perfect combination of spices, dried fruits, and sweet caramel. On the palate, the intense flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and fig mingle with hints of spice and toasted nuts, leading to a long and luscious finish. Enjoy this port with a variety of cheeses, dark chocolates, or as a dessert wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This robust, dark red colored W. & J.Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port offers an intense nose of mocha, blackberry, and dark cherry aromas with hints of tobacco and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dense with flavors of dark fruit and blackberry jam, overlaid with a layer of sweet spice and dark chocolate. The finish is lengthy and complex, with lingering notes of licorice and roasted coffee beans.

ORIGINS
Winery: W. & J. Graham's
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
