Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Pale-mid tawny. Initially a touch of old cheese, but that swirls away to reveal a beautiful, multi-layered nose of dried flowers, dried strawberry, fig, sweet spice and milk chocolate – an absolute delight for the olfactory bulb! Rich, thick and intense, this has extraordinary power, length and depth. A great, glorious vintage port. (TJ)

Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port. Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era. Their tawnys are quite good rather than exceptional, but their vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous. The 1966, which I originally thought quite mediocre, has developed beautifully in the bottle and is a much finer vintage port that I suspected. It should be drunk now as it is not likely to get any better. .
Elegant, silky and youthful, this is a sexy wine. Medium ruby-red, showing aromas of plums, chocolate and ripe fruit. The palate follows through with a bounty of sweet plum flavors and a fleshy mouth-feel. It should continue to improve with age. – James Suckling , Wine Spectator 1989
