Roy Hersh: A “mystery Port” served single-blind from magnum, alongside three 1947s, all served sighted. It is a Whitwham’s bottling, impressively displaying a shade of light maroon with a pale ruby rim, displaying notes of strawberry, spearmint, herbs, and a high-toned eucalyptus fragrance. The palate hinted at spicy, with warming aguardente poking through, as the generous red-berry fruit is beginning to recede— uncharacteristic for this usually top-notch Vintage Port. Light-medium weight and spirity, with menthol up front, soft and elegant texturally, in its tertiary stage and showing signs of fading fruit with a spiked hot finish. I’ve been lucky enough to have this Port a handful of times and all of the other impressions were far better than this. Nonetheless, this bottle had its moments, and overlooking the spirituous character, it was fun to drink. Typically, this Graham’s delivers a mid-90s-points impression.
