Graham’s 30-Year Aged Tawny Port – Critics’ Choice 97-93 Ratings

Nestled in Portugal’s legendary Douro Valley, Graham’s 30-Year Tawny Port embodies decades of oak-cask maturation for a velvety-smooth profile that balances concentrated sweetness with bright acidity. This non-vintage blend showcases layers of dried fruit—including plums and figs—tinged with toasted almond and caramel nuances from prolonged cask aging (bottled in 2013). Critics laud its complexity: James Suckling detects “dried cherries and candied fruit” with a “long poised finish,” while Wine Spectator highlights “dark chocolate” depth and “green tea sparkle” on the palate (95 points). Ideal as a post-dinner digestif or pairing with dark chocolate desserts and aged cheeses, its 20% ABV delivers warmth without heaviness due to meticulous sugar-acid calibration (125g residual sugar). Unlike younger ports or tawnies under 10 years, this Editors’ Choice (Wine Enthusiast) offers immediate drinking pleasure while retaining cellar longevity—perfect for collectors seeking a non-vintage tawny with consistent critic acclaim (Wine & Spirits: 93 points; Decanter: 97 points). Exclusively available in Fine & Rare collections due to its premium status.*
