Tasting notes
So young! Hardly any signs of bottle age here, with the primary red fruit still going full throttle. Brilliantly balanced. Super-rich and thick. Most likely immortal. (RH)

Very tiny crop. Just 650 g per vine on average (they usually harvest 850 g per vine from Malvedos – their lowest yielding, most consistently cropping quinta). Intense and liqueur-like on the nose. Very strong minty note. Dry finish with some tannins still evident. Very pure and clean. (JR)
Aromas of dried fruits, raisins and Christmas cake. Some chocolate undertones too, plus licorice and wet earth. Full body, medium sweet with gorgeous depth and intensity of fruit. So long and beautiful. What an amazing finish already.
The backbone for Graham comes from Quinta dos Malvedos where there are newly installed robotic stainless-steel lagares. Mellow nose with cordite and dry finish on pretty tannic fruit. Not really ready yet but you could serve some food that would complement the liquorice sweetness. (JR)
