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.

The history of W & J Graham's spans three centuries and throughout that time this acclaimed Port producer has remained an independent family business. The story of Graham's is the story of two families, both of Scottish origin the Grahams and the Symingtons whose commitment to the making of memorable wines has earned for Graham's a reputation as a leader in the production of outstanding Vintage Ports.
W & J Graham's was founded in Oporto, Portugal's second city, in 1820 by the two brothers William and John Graham. The Graham family already had extensive business interests not just in their native Scotland but also in India. The success of their affairs led to them being described by a contemporary historian, as being among the merchant princes of Great Britain. The brothers formed the partnership of W & J Graham & Co. with the aim of specialising in the production of the finest Port wines. They channeled their considerable resources and energy towards the pursuit of this goal.
