Since 1970 the firm has been owned and run by the Symington family, who farm their own quintas — Quinta dos Malvedos chief among them — and personally make every Graham's wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Graham's Vintage Port is drawn from the oldest vines on the steepest terraces and released only when the year merits it. The 2024 shows the classic Graham's signature: a deep, opaque core of black fruit and violets, framed by ripe tannin and the house's hallmark seam of sweetness that carries through a long, structured finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt to reward the cellar, it will drink beautifully for decades. 750ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe 2024 Vintage Port was produced with a blend of 55% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, mostly from their Malvedos vineyards (but not exclusively), a 9% field blend of old vines and 6% Sousão from Quinta do Tua, another property separated from Malvedos by the Tua River. It fermented in stainless steel lagar with foot-treading robots and matured in large oak vessels for 18 months. The wine comes from very low yields, and the nose is phenomenal, very high on Touriga Nacional, with floral notes—orange blossom—a touch of resin, a typical Graham's eucalyptus\/minty thing, really morish. This is a really delicious Graham's; it's a sweeter, very generous wine that tends to be velvety with good tannins and length, more powerful and concentrated. The tannins are more assertive than the Warre's, for example, and it has the grip from the Sousão. This is certainly going to be long lived. It's relatively dry at 107 grams of sugar. 71,220 bottles produced. This was last produced in 2020.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Luis Gutiérrez (Robert Parker) 97 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe 2024 Vintage Port from Graham's represents 15% of the estate's production. Picking commenced at Malvedos on September 9, a little later than recent vintages due to moderate daytime temperatures, with yields just 280gm per vine. It has one of the most intense aromatics among the latest releases, with black plum, pencil box, subtle marine influences and Indian ink all delivered with fabulous delineation. The palate has exquisite balance, perfectly judged acidity, and is one of the most mineral-driven of the '24 Vintage Ports, nuanced with a dash of black pepper and graphite towards the finish. There is a completeness to this Graham's that is mesmerising.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Neal Martin (Vinous) 97 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis shows dark fruit, notably blackberries, and is expressive overall.
