Graham's, Quinta dos Malvedos, Port, Douro Valley, Portugal 2010

When Graham’s declares a vintage, the Malvedos vineyard generally makes up a large component of the blend. In the most exceptional years, the wines from Malvedos warrant a standalone bottling like this one. A challenging growing season proved to be a solid foundation. Unctuous red and black fruit both on the nose and palate play centre stage. Ensemble characters include a minty eucalyptus note plus bitter dark chocolate notes. To be enjoyed on its own, with blue cheese or chocolate-flavoured desserts.
