10 Years Old Tawny: nuts, honey and figs, with a lush finish.
Tasting note
Deep tawny. Complex nutty aromas with hints of honey and figs. Rich, ripe fruit on the palate, beautifully mellow, with a lush, long finish.
The story
A tawny with an indication of age is a blend of Ports aged for a long time in oak casks: the age reflects the average character of the blend. It is ready to drink and does not improve with keeping.
This 4.5-litre bottle (rehoboam) was nicknamed ‘The Beast’: enough for plenty of cheese boards, or for a big family over the holidays.
Food pairing
The perfect match for sweet pastries such as apple pie with cinnamon, and a treat with strong cheeses and foie gras. Serve lightly chilled.
The producer
Graham’s was founded in 1820 by the Scottish brothers William and John Graham, textile merchants who accepted a consignment of Port in Porto as payment of a debt and then devoted themselves entirely to Port. In 1890 they built their lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia and bought Quinta dos Malvedos, the heart of their Vintage Ports ever since.
In 1970 the Symington family bought Graham’s. The grapes come from four of the house’s own quintas in the Douro: Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas. Malvedos lies on the north bank of the Douro, with south-facing vineyards.

Beautifully packaged and copper-coloured, with sweet cherries, dried fruit, raisins and old-wood spice. Chilled, a fine way to end a meal (Sunday Express).
