Tasting notes
Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port. Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era. Their tawnys are quite good rather than exceptional, but their vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous. The 1975 is the only recent vintage of Graham that I find disappointing. It is rather light in color, finishes very short on the palate, and obviously lacks depth and ripeness.

Even Graham didn't make a very good wine in this marginal vintage. Medium red with a light edge, it has a grapy, spicy nose, with light, soft fruit on the palate and a rather short finish. – James Suckling , Wine Spectator 1989
