Some gifts are meant to be opened and finished in one sitting. This one is meant to be explored – three glasses, three ages, one journey through decades of maturation in Graham's cellars.
Expert's Description
Graham's The Aged Tawny Collection is a gift set of three Portuguese Tawny Ports from the Douro Valley, each 20 cl and bottled at 20%.
The set brings together three stages of Graham's tawny production: the house's younger Tawny, matured for a few years in oak, a 10 year old tawny and a 20 year old tawny. Tasting them side by side makes it clear how the Port changes character the longer it rests in cask, from fresh berry fruit to nuts, caramel and dried fruit.
Graham's was founded in 1820 by brothers William and John Graham in Porto and has belonged to the Symington family's collection of Port houses since 1970. The gift set is the house's way of introducing the range of styles found within aged tawny Port.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The aromas range from fresh, red-berry fruit in the youngest bottle to nuts, caramel and dried orange peel in the oldest.
Palate
The palate develops from light and fruity to rich and velvety, with toffee and mature dried fruit, the older the tawny gets.
Finish
The finish grows longer and more complex with each age, from a short, fresh close to a lingering, nutty finale.

Did You Know?
Because the three bottles in the set are identical in everything but age, they offer a rare chance to taste how time alone reshapes a Port, without the grape variety, vintage or producer changing along the way.
