[8 hour decant] This is from a very fine lot of 1977 Graham’s I purchased in the mid-to-late 1990s from a small Napa importer, and is at the level of the 1977 Fonseca we drank last week, sweet, nice weight and balance, long, lingering finish, very nice!! — a month ago

A true testament as to how time and patience can positively affect a wine. This is a combination of multiple generations of wine making and aging in well seasoned oak casks. Beautiful amber color with a greenish rim. Delicate aromas and flavors of dried fruits and raisins, figs, toffee, caramel, toasted nuts, orange zest and milk chocolate. Long and lingering finish which does not seem to quit. Multiple layers of complexity. Perfect balance of structure, acidity and sweetness. Both elegant and powerful at the same time. Just an amazing wine. Sincere thanks to my dear friend Mark S. for this incredible gift! — a year ago

This Port has very tall legs, is very thick, and is deep, dark red in color. The aroma is syrupy, almost suggesting maple notes. This sweet dessert wine tastes similarly to Brandy. The mouthfeel is warm, thick, and heavy. This is a very full bodied wine. The flavor notes suggest tart blackberry and sticky black cherry. I love sweet wines, but this one is very intense. — 2 years ago

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 6 years ago

Absolutely excellent. Such a treat at 55 years. At first a real medicinal note which blows away with a bit of time and air. Incredibly deep and dense with great pruney fruit. Excellent acid hanging in at this age and the finish is very long. Nice wine for a weekend of Thanksgiving related meals! — 7 months ago
