Fonseca Port, 1955

Graham's Port, 1955
Vintage Port
Bottled by Charles Kinloch
The 1955 Graham’s Vintage Port is one of the great post-war classics and a benchmark for long-lived, opulent Port. Nearly seventy years on, it continues to display the house’s signature richness, offering a gorgeous aromatic profile of sweet dried fruits, rose petal, walnut and warm spice. The colour has faded to a deep tawny-ruby rim, yet the core retains remarkable vitality for a wine of this age.
On the palate, the 1955 delivers a silken, almost weightless texture. Flavours of fig, caramelised orange peel, molasses and redcurrant mingle with notes of almond and soft cocoa. The sweetness is beautifully integrated, never heavy, and balanced by a gentle thread of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lifted. …
