1970 W & J Graham’s Vintage Port is a benchmark example of classic Portuguese winemaking, delivering richness, elegance, and longevity in every glass. Bottled after two years in cask and aged in bottle for decades, this vintage release from one of the Douro Valley’s most storied producers represents the bold, fruit-driven style that defines Graham’s house character at its very finest.
Founded in 1820, W & J Graham’s has built a reputation for producing powerful, long-lived ports from some of the finest vineyards in the Douro, including Quinta dos Malvedos. The 1970 vintage was declared universally outstanding, and Graham’s interpretation of it remains one of the most lauded. While this wine predates the era of modern awards, it continues to earn reverence among collectors and critics for its remarkable balance of intensity, sweetness, and structure.
Crafted primarily from traditional Douro varieties like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Roriz, the 1970 Vintage Port opens with a luxurious bouquet of black cherry, plum, cedarwood, chocolate, mint, and tobacco, with delicate floral esters lifting the nose.
On the palate, it is opulent yet focused, with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and precise. The finish is long, softly tannic, and deeply layered, with evolving notes of dark fruit, dried herbs, and silky cocoa.
A true collector’s gem and a testament to vintage Port's age-worthy brilliance, 1970 Graham’s Vintage Port is drinking beautifully now and will continue to do so for decades to come.
