BREAKTHRU® Graham’s Tawny Port 20 Years Old (Portugal) – [WS 93] – 6046114906271

Rank #87 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2013

Notes From the Winemaker:
This Aged Tawny Port is a blend of older wines, which offer complexity and younger wines, which bring fresh fruit flavors and vibrancy. During their long maturing period in oak casks, Aged Tawnies undergo subtle color changes: the deep red hue which characterizes Port’s youth gradually gives way to a paler golden amber color. Graham’s is known for its rich, elegant house style. This 20 Year has an intense, nutty bouquet, the classic Graham’s richness and a concentrated, lingering finish. Many consider the 20 Year to be the perfect blend of complexity and vibrant fruit when it comes to Aged Tawny.

Tasting Notes:
Really vibrant masses of honey, butterscotch and creme brulee flavors. Medium-bodied, very fresh, long honey and orange peel finish.

Serving and pairing suggestions:
Graham’s 20 Year is bottled ready to drink after an average of at least 20 years of cask aging. It has a t-cap closure, which means that you don’t need a corkscrew to open it and that it will stay fresh for four to six months if stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerator. Serve it in a glass with at least a six ounce capacity so that you may appreciate the wine’s aromas. Graham’s 20 Year is delicious when paired with milk chocolate, creme brulee or fruit tarts. In warmer months, try it chilled for a refreshing dessert in a glass.

“A complex and full-bore tawny, with deep, intense flavors of orange cream, glazed apricot, baked peach and roasted pineapple that are balanced by concentrated chocolate and toffee notes. The bright finish is filled with spice and supported by fresh acidity. Drink now.“ – KM (10/15/2013)
