Fleur Gay Vintage:2008

Fleur Gay Vintage:2008Aromas of dark chocolate, mineral, blackberry and licorice. Full bodied, with silky tannins and a racy finish. Tight now. Give it some time still. 95 96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. JS

the 2007 Grahams Vintage Port is complete in every way

A smoky mineral nuance drives the extremely long

but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins

(made with ~60% whole clusters)

femme fatale of a finish

An opulent style

The palate is built like a brick house

as if it had been excessively fined and/or filtered

it's a concentrated

terrific thrust and sneaky rising floral perfume

is offering a fine balance of concentrated fruit and mature savoriness

The 2000 has been consistently brilliant
