Graham's Crusted Port, Bottled ’02, Morrisons £17.99 reduced to £12.99.

For the price, this is as close to a very good vintage port as it gets and is better than many VP’s at the lower end. A blend of 2~3 vintage’s fruit, bottled unfiltered and aged for three years before release by the port house.

What you get is quite a complex, deeply flavored wine, sweet liquorice, solid tannins and perfect balance. I won’t drone on about the taste, you really need to experience this for yourself, its amazing stuff.

If you only treat yourself to one port this Christmas, make it this one.

Graham - That's a bloody good heads-up. I'm 'aving some. I shall creep out after dark and bag a brace. I like youngones as a fireside treat.

Good for how long GK ? Similar to VP ? Or shorter, say 10 + a bit.

I still have that fonseca 66 and some Royal Oporto 83's buried deep. Weirdly enough, I enjoyed the RO better at 10 rather than 25.

excellent to have a port nerd here

Hey ....take all d'em-decorations-down pdq, those blighters will get there before me !

Cheers Mr D, those old'uns will surely bring you some enjoyment but there's also plenty to be gained from a good whack of burgeoning, young fruit.

Aging? who knows, I never keep them that long. Over on TPF they suggest 5+ years. This has already seen a few years in the barrel followed by 3 years in the bottle, it's out of its infancy and full of beans. Enjoy it for what it is I say.

Tried my local. It isn't stocked. There are a couple around the office, but I may not get there until next week.

I forgot there is another store not too far away that is somewhat larger. Might try there later.

Would be a good gift.

Repost

Does anyone know if the current -25% promo is also available in store?

This would take the bottle price down to £9.35, I would invest in a case for this price.

just got back from sainsburys
25% off applies in store, didn't know whether fortifieds were included in the offer but I guess so...
I just picked up the 1 bottle myself - my only purchase now before Christmas if I can help it

Ooohhhhh, why does this always happen?



"You dont need and more GK, you have plenty, you've spent so much recently..."

"This is delicous GK, you may not get the chance to buy this at such a good price again, go on, treat yourself, you only live once, the wife doesnt have to know..."
