Graham’s 2013 Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a premium fortified wine, celebrated for its balance of richness, complexity, and drinkability. Here’s a more detailed description:

Wine Type

LBV Port is a style of Port wine crafted from a single vintage, aged in oak barrels for 4–6 years before bottling. It is unfiltered, meaning it can develop further in the bottle, and may throw a sediment over time, similar to Vintage Port.

Appearance

The wine displays a deep, inky ruby color with garnet hues, reflecting its concentration and aging process.

Aromas

On the nose, the 2013 Graham’s LBV bursts with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and black cherries, layered with subtle notes of violets, cocoa, and sweet spices like cinnamon and clove. There’s also a hint of dried figs and a touch of earthy minerality.

Palate

The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering a luscious texture balanced by lively acidity. Bold flavors of black fruit—blackcurrants, cherries, and ripe blueberries—are complemented by hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and toasted almonds. Silky tannins provide structure, leading to a long, velvety finish with nuances of spice and a touch of sweetness.

Grape Varieties

As a traditional Douro Valley wine, the 2013 LBV includes a blend of classic Portuguese varieties:

Touriga Nacional: Contributes intense aromatics and tannic structure.
Touriga Franca: Adds fruitiness and floral notes.
Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo): Brings elegance and earthy undertones.
Tinta Barroca: Provides ripe fruit and body.
Tinto Cão: Enhances acidity and aromatic complexity.

Style

This LBV Port is robust and approachable, crafted for immediate enjoyment but with the potential to improve with moderate cellaring.

Serving Suggestions

Food Pairing: Best served with dark chocolate desserts, blue cheeses like Stilton, or simply enjoyed on its own as a dessert wine.
Serving Temperature: Ideally served slightly chilled, between 16°C and 18°C (60°F–65°F).
Decanting: Since it is unfiltered, decanting is recommended to remove sediment.

Graham’s LBV Ports are known for their consistency, showcasing the expertise and dedication of the Symington family in producing fine Ports. The 2013 vintage is no exception, reflecting the exceptional terroir of the Douro Valley and the outstanding quality of that year.
