"Port shippers famous for some of the richest, sweetest, and best of vintage ports, largely from its own Quinta dos Malvedos."
Hugh Johnson, Hugh Johnson’s POCKET WINE BOOK, 01/01/2004

"Six grapes is one of the wine trade’s favourite tipples... a luscious style of port with generous flavours, mellow fruit and a superb finish."
Matthew Jukes, The Saturday Mail, 01/11/2001

"The International Wine Challenge Gold medal-winning Graham's 'The Tawny'... is an elegantly concentrated and complex Port (and comes in a very stylish clear glass bottle)."
Jonathan Ray, The Daily Telegraph, 23/12/2006

"Good full colour, elegant nose, full and balanced on the palate, a lovely vanilla taste is balanced with a touch of spice and racy acidity on the finish."

TOP 100 Wines of 2006
"Powered with acidity and its firm structure, this is an intensely dry, concentrated, powerful wine. It certainly has wines in the blend that are older than 10 years, yet it is definitely a 10-year old in style, as the fresh fruit to finish confirms."
Wine Enthusiast, 01/12/2006

"Pale mid-amber Tawny. Lovely savory-toasty aromas combined with dried fruit and nuts. Fine, supremely delicate, and perfectly balanced, combining freshness with secondary nutty complexity. Seductive silky length. Near-perfect poise."
Richard Mayson, Fine Wine Magazine, 01/03/2007

"My favourite mellow, nutty, 20 year old tawny Port - Graham’s."
Michael Broadbent, Decanter Magazine, 01/02/2009

"... Graham's outstanding 20 Year Old. What Tawny Port is all about."
Michael Broadbent, Decanter Magazine, 01/06/2009

"Deep tawny wine showing complex marmalade, burnt sugar and spice aromas on the nose. The palate is wonderfully harmonious with complex evolved fruit flavours married to fine structure and acidity. The finish is long and nutty with a hint of sweetness."
Wine International, 01/10/2005

"An intense, mature wine, but one that has kept its ripeness and richness. The concentration is intense – one glass is plenty. There are walnuts, bitter chocolate and a delicious, clean aftertaste."
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast , 01/08/2006

"Opaque purple. Ripe black berries and dark cherries on the nose with peppery notes and hint of sweet tobacco. Well rounded, sweet fruited mouth balanced by keen fruit acid and lively tannins. Complex, well balanced with fine structure. Continual development of flavours in the mouth would seem to indicate lots of life to come in the bottle. Full and firm in well extended finish."
IWSC, 01/10/2006

"Stunning value, this single quinta wine from Quinta dos Malvedos, the isolated estate in the Douro Valley in northern Portugal that provides most of the best grapes for Graham’s vintage port, is well up to the standard of most vintage port... This wine is looking gorgeous now – just right for winter sipping. Wonderfully mellow yet refreshing super-ripe fruit too... This port should also continue to develop in bottle for another 10 years at least."
Jancis Robinson, Jancisrobinson.com, 11/12/2006

"Deep purple core with wide, fading rim. Ripe plum dominates the nose with hints of prune and mint. Second wave of aromas brings chocolate, vanilla and some sweet oak. Full and soft in the mouth yet still bright acidity. Compact and intense with fruit flavours bursting to show themselves. Great structure and balance. Firm tannins and long, persistent finish. Loads of potential to develop."
IWSC, 01/06/2008

"Raisiny, spicy, mellow. Lovely. Vigorous. Lots to it. This should keep going strong for the next 25 years."
Jancis Robinson, Jancisrobinson.com

"Fullish colour, just about mature. full, firm nose. Still undeveloped. Still a bit closed. The complete wine. Fullish, just about ready. Real depth. Excellent depth. Excellent complex fruit. Delicious."
Clive Coates, The Quarterly Review of Wines, 01/10/1991

"The exceptional heat of the 2003 vintage played right into the supple power of Graham's, the best Vintage from this house in recent memory."
Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, 01/10/2005

"It is wonderfully rich first ripe blackberry then cassis all backed by liquorice and eucalyptus. The fruit on the palate is powerful, enriched by dark chocolate and given a wonderful complexity by the mix of black fruits. The balance seems near perfect and the finish is sleek, refined and elegant."
Derek Smedley, , 01/05/2009

"Rich and chewy, with masses of blueberry, blackberry and raisin character. Full-bodied and very sweet, with a long, powerful finish. Big and juicy, with ultraripe fruit. Racy and full of class. Like cashmere in texture."
James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 06/05/2009

"Blackish purple. Very rich and spicy and immediately attractive and rather luscious on the nose. Violets, liquorice and very flattering. Round and extremely fruity… Literally gorgeous... Certainly persistent."
Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 21/05/2009

"Rich, ripe, opulent with a lovely morello cherry nose. Voluptuous in its richness and sweetness (Graham's is always made in a sweeter style). Impressive and upfront but with structure and substance. Broad, ripe tannins leading to a peacock's tail of a finish.
Richard Mayson, Decanter Magazine, 01/08/2009

"A touch more muscular than usual no doubt warranting long ageing in bottle, this is nonetheless full of ripe bramble and fruit liqueur character, silky yet evident fruit tannins, culminating in a long intense finish with strong hints of dark and milk chocolate."
Justerini & Brooks, justerinis.com, 01/08/2009

"The nose here can only be described as frustratingly coy but very, very pretty. Core notes of warm blackberry and black cherry are joined by violets, black pepper, cloves, licorice and a touch of mocha. The palate promises at a wine of great purity, elegance and balance to come. Layer upon layer of dark fruit and spice flavours seamlessly wrap around crisp acidity and a wonderful texture of very fine, firm tannins. Very, very long finish."
Robert Parker, robertparker.com, 01/08/2009

"A classic vintage of Graham’s, the cool, balanced fruitiness of 2007 plays right into the style of the house. This is harmonious and powerful, with pure fresh fruit that bursts in the mouth then lasts, sustained, as the flavors of the Douro’s ancient varieties cascade for minutes in fascinating interplay and detail. As luscious as it may be, the fruit still has red tones, along with a sensual texture. The schist tannins are muscular, sculpted into soft curves, Apollonian in their power. Compelling to drink as a young wine, this has what it takes to mature for 50 years or more."

"A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam of ripe black fruits, and a hint of chocolate in the background. This leads to a dense, super-rich, plush, opulent wine that hides its structure under all the fruit. Vibrant, impeccably balanced, and exceptionally lengthy... It is a tour de force."
