This is the 5th release of a Colheita Port (SIngle Harvest Tawny) from the Symington family. A gorgeous wine from an unusual Vintage, onctuous with lovely acidity and focus. The perfect pairing with cuban leaves.

Roy Hersh 94 (2015-08-03):"Individually numbered bottles were released earlier this year, from nearly 1/3 of the casks of this Port originally vinified by Peter Symington; just two years after the family purchased Graham's. Medium maple color, offering a distinctive bouquet of tangerine, caramel, honey, glove leather, raisin and fig notes. Medium-weight and with a seductively unctuous mouthfeel, this Tawny is loaded with cleansing acidity that provides ample structure and verve. The dried apricot, prune and tangy-sweet interplay combine to create a luscious, warm and multi-layered flavor profile. The Graham's 1972 is a fine wood-aged Port which presents a sweet torched sugar nuance together with a chestnut infused finish of excellent length.
