Graham's 20-year Port

by JC (NC) » Wed May 26, 2010 12:32 pm

$19 for a pour after dinner at Cinghiale Restaurant, Baltimore. Not overly sweet. Looked like a dark amber in the not brightly lit room. Some prune and some caramel on the nose and palate. Lengthy finish. Reasonable degree of heat for a fortified drink. I enjoyed it.

Hey Jane, Ive got a 1983 Grahams I'll bring to MoCool for you to taste. I bought 3 many years ago and found I am not a lover of port. Hope to see you at MoCool, I'll bring this along.

20 year tawnies are my go-to Ports. Taylor, Fonseca and Graham are my go-to producers.

I'm not sure I'll make Mo'Cool this year. I may not have the days off work because I'm planning more than a week in California in October and have had short trips to Charlotte and to Virginia/Maryland and one coming up to NYC.

David, have you tried the Cockburn 20-year Tawny? I love their 10-year Tawny which I find less sweet than some brands but I haven't tried the 20-year.

David, you made me chuckle.
Have you been to Cinghiale in Baltimore? I know you visit there as Laura has family there.
