2015 Graham's - Vintage Port Stone Terraces

Produced from ancient schist vines across the quintas that define the Upper Douro, the 2015 vintage stands as a benchmark year for Graham’s, delivering exceptional concentration and structural elegance. After approximately two years of maturation in seasoned Portuguese oak casks, this Vintage Port emerges with the depth and balance characteristic of a declared classic, offering both immediate approachability and serious cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes

The wine shows an opaque ruby core fading to a violet rim, releasing concentrated aromas of crushed blackberry, ripe plum, and steeped cranberry. Secondary layers of dark chocolate, espresso beans, dried lavender, and a faint whiff of toasted sandalwood unfold gradually. On the palate, lush velvet textures embrace firmly built but highly polished tannins, leading to a long, resonant finish marked by mineral precision and lingering sweet spice.

Serving Suggestions

• Decant for one to two hours prior to pouring to allow the tightly wound aromatics to open fully.
• Serve slightly cool, between 55 and 60 ºF, to maintain aromatic clarity and round out the alcohol warmth.
• Pair with pungent, aged cheeses like Stilton or Parmigiano-Reggiano, bittersweet dark chocolate, spiced nuts, or enjoy solo as a post-dinner digestif.

Store vertically in a cool, dark environment and consume within 24 months after opening to preserve peak freshness and oxidative stability.
