A gorgeous bright reddish tawny in the glass, this Port, matured in seasoned oak casks for around three years, invites you in like a hug from a bear in a cashmere cardie, with intense fruit-and-caramel aromas of raisins, dried figs and Brazil nuts, hibiscus and roses, toffee and tar. The palate is sweet but vinous, balanced by high acidity and a light tannin grip perfect for setting off against a piece of dark chocolate or two. Just don’t give any to the bear.

W. & J. Graham's, or simply Graham's, is one of the most important producers of Port. Founded in 1820 when the Graham family firm received 27 barrels of Portuguese wine as payment for a debt, the Graham's port business continues to operate today under the ownership of the Symington Family Estates, who purchased the brand in 1970. As well as vintage and tawny port, Graham's produces various single harvest ports, including the 1882 Ne Oublie Tawny, named after the Graham family motto and at the time one of the most expensive wines for sale. The company received a Royal Warrant in 2015. Graham’s Ports, from the entry level ‘Fine Tawny’ upwards, are utterly authentic and always exceed the legal minimum standards for their ages. These are a revelation and classics of both tawny and vintage have a high proportion of the Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca varieties, considered by Prats & Symington to be the varieties best suited to making outstanding Douro DOC wines.
