2017 Grahams Late Bottled Vintage Port

92 Points Wine Enthusiast
In stock
A softly rich and yet classy LBV from Graham's. Here, wine from some of their finest fruit is aged in barrel a few more years than the vintage bottling, thus giving the LBV a succulent kind of depth and dimension. A little while gaining oxygen in oak also gives it a softer and more rounded flavour. Released earlier than the vintage because it is much more ready-to-drink, this LBV Port is full of pleasure and pedigree. Vintage wine for a very low price!
$60.99 in mixed 6+ or $67.99 per bottle

Its Origins

What The Critics Say

92/100 Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss

"The Port, with its luscious texture and black fruits, is impressive and dense. Black fruits are given richness and spice by the spirit and the raisin flavors. With its light structure, it is ready to drink."

91/100 Wine Spectator

"Inviting, with plum cake and steeped raisin and plum notes laced with licorice snap and fruitcake accents. There's a solid spine for support, but this is approachable now. Try decanting or even giving a touch more time in the cellar."

90/100 robertParker.com, Marl Squires

"The 2017 Late Bottled Vintage Port is a field blend bottled in 2022 with a bar-top cork and 113 grams per liter of residual sugar after six years in cask. (There will be no 2016 Graham's LBV.) Elegant in the mid-palate (unlike its sibling, the Dow's), this also has good structure, but it is a much better balanced wine. The big fruit of this fine vintage shines through, rendering this rather delicious. This has persistence and focus, plus all that tasty fruit. You can't go wrong." Drink 2022 - 2030
