Picture the end of a long Nairobi evening. Dinner's done, the playlist's gone slow, and you want one small glass that tastes like a hug. This is it. Graham's LBV is deep, velvety and properly sweet, packed with blackberry and dark plum and a little warm spice on the finish. Pour a small measure, grab a square of dark chocolate, and you're sorted. And yes, it's a full litre, so you're not rationing.
Sniff it first. You get ripe blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, with vanilla and a whisper of clove and pepper sitting underneath. The sip is full and smooth, thick with dark fruit and a touch of toasty oak, then it glides into a long, warm, gently sweet finish that just keeps going. It's rich without being heavy or syrupy. Think dessert in a glass, but grown-up about it.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Graham's comes from the Douro Valley in Portugal, the original home of port, where the family set up shop back in 1820 after taking 27 barrels of port as payment for a debt. They've been at it ever since, owned by the Symington family since 1970. LBV stands for Late Bottled Vintage: it's the wine of a single year's harvest, then aged in oak casks for around four to six years before bottling. That extra time in wood is why it pours smooth and ready, no decanting needed.
