Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos Vintage Port 2012 - 750ml

94pts Wine Enthusiast

Malvedos is Graham’s flagship Douro vineyard. This vintage Port from the estate is maturing well but still not mature. The wine’s concentration with dense black fruits, perfumed, sweet and concentrated. This great wine still needs time, ready to drink from 2030.

This has matured nicely, with a fine-grained structure carrying gently steeped plum and blackberry fruit, while licorice root, alder and mulling spice hints fill in through the finish. Feels at peak, but no rush. Nicely done from an unheralded vintage. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousao. Drink now through 2032.

Winemaker Notes

A delightfully elegant floral nose, typical of Touriga Franca in the best years. The wine also has aromas of red cherries, licorice, mint, bergamot and orange blossom, the result of the high proportion of ripe Touriga Nacional in the wine. There is also a hint of chocolate from the relatively high proportion of Tinta Amarela. On the palate there is very fine purity of fruit and a velvety texture. This wine has ripe tannins and a well-structured minerality, combined with fresh acidity showing through on the well-defined finish.
