BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Similar color to the Graham of the same vintage. Closed and not nearly as expressive as the Graham on the nose, but with underlying power showing through. Powerful, with solid, dry tannins in the mouth, tight-knit mid-palate, but exploding on the finish, with fine-grained tannins. Will be a wonderful wine in 15 years. Some 10 percent of the final lote comes from Quinta do Junco, bought from Borges in 1998. Just under 15,000 cases declared. 18.5
