The 2000 vintage is a classic. Cellar this hefty port for a couple of years. Graham’s 2000 Late Bottled Vintage has a deep ruby-purple colour and concentrated black cherry–cassis fruit, with youthful licorice, cedar and leesy character. The wine is medium-full and dense, with firm, dry tannin. Very good length. Best from 2009 to 2015.
