This late release is in a good place right now, with gently mulled plum, blackberry and fig fruit flavors infused with singed anise, tobacco and alder notes. Offers a light ganache coating on the finish, which has a smoldering feel. (JM)

From Graham’s flagship estate, this is deep yet refined on the nose with a touch of floral fruit emerging. Sweet, ripe and broad, black cherry fruit, very pure and well defined with dark chocolate and liquorice richness on the finish. Just at the start of a 15-20 year drinking plateau, and something of a bargain. (RM)

Dark garnet. Round and evolved with some real richness and an undertow of prunes in armagnac. Lots of punch and character here. At £20 it's quite a steal. It has the trademark Graham's ripeness but has structure too. Slightly fiery – a real mouthful of the Douro. Lots to enjoy here. And not too chewily youthful. *Good Value* 17/20 points. (JR)
