GRAHAM'S Quinta dos Malvedos 2009

(Oporto, Portugal) $58

When do you drink an extraordinary Single Quinta Port like this? I’d say on a cold winter afternoon, maybe with some cheese. Complex Ports are often wrongly cast as dessert wines. But while you could easily have a glass of this after dinner, the wine isn’t a prop for cake. The kaleidoscope of flavors is stunning: spices, tea, vanilla, sassafras, red fruits, pepper. An elegant plunge into the exotic. Beautifully long lines of rich flavor, not to be missed.
