2005 Graham's "Quinta dos Malvedos" Vintage Port

SKU #1523712 94 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Quinta dos Malvedos is Graham's flagship vineyards. This single quinta vintage, made in a year when no general vintage was declared, shows the great structure and fine perfumes that comes from this privileged site. Rich in plummy black fruits, powered still by tannins, the wine is approaching maturity. Drink now, although it will age for many years. (RV) Inner quote mark (5/2020)

93 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark This late release is in a good place right now, with gently mulled plum, blackberry and fig fruit flavors infused with singed anise, tobacco and alder notes. Offers a light ganache coating on the finish, which has a smoldering feel. (JM) Inner quote mark (2/2019)

92 points Decanter

Outer quote mark From Graham’s flagship estate, this is deep yet refined on the nose with a touch of floral fruit emerging. Sweet, ripe and broad, black cherry fruit, very pure and well defined with dark chocolate and liquorice richness on the finish. Just at the start of a 15-20 year drinking plateau, and something of a bargain. (RM) Inner quote mark (10/2019)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Dark garnet. Round and evolved with some real richness and an undertow of prunes in armagnac. Lots of punch and character here. At £20 it's quite a steal. It has the trademark Graham's ripeness but has structure too. Slightly fiery – a real mouthful of the Douro. Lots to enjoy here. And not too chewily youthful. *Good Value* 17/20 points. (JR) Inner quote mark (12/2019)

Country:

Portugal

- Although quite small, Portugal produces a great variety of wines ranging from light and fizzy Vinho Verde to hearty and tannic Port. Portugal is Europe's fourth-largest wine-producing region, and has been exporting its wine since the 14th century. The Douro Valley of Portugal is the original and current home for the world's finest Port. The valley spans from east of the city of Oporto all the way to the border of Spain and is the country's best known wine region. Lesser-appreciated DOCs like Bairrada and Dão area also emerging for their fine, rustic reds.

Sub-Region:

Port

- Port is a fortified wine made by stopping the fermentation with brandy. The result is a heavy sweet wine, most often red, that is dense, rich and high in alcohol. Port is made all over the world with some great results in Australia and South Africa, but the most famous of these dessert wines come from Portugal. The great port houses (or lodges) are located along the Duoro River on the steep slate slopes high above the valley floor. There are several styles of port, including Ruby, Tawny, Vintage Character, Late Bottle Vintage, Colheita, and Single Quinta. Vintage ports are made in special years that the houses declare.
