In 1882, Andrew James Symington sailed from Scotland to Porto to work for the Graham family, thus beginning his family’s long association with this famous house. Although he left Graham's shortly after to establish his own port business, his grandsons acquired the company from the Graham family in 1970 when it was offered for sale. Since then, the Symington family have further developed and consolidated Graham's reputation for producing superb ports, starting with the 1970 Vintage they made in the year they bought the company.

Recent highlights include the release of 656 bottles of Ne Oublie, a Tawny Port that dates back to AJ Symington's arrival in Portugal in 1882, the launch of a new range of Single Harvest Tawny Ports dating back to 1952, the declaration of Vintage Ports in 2011 and 2016, and the release of anew single vineyard Vintage Port called The Stone Terraces in 2011, 2015 and 2016.

Agorgeous tawny with dried figs, caramel, dried raisins and coffee beans.Full-bodied, sweet and delicious. This shows such length and beauty. I love thecreme caramel and cooked apple tart on the finish. Some pecan pie. Crazy.

Lovely, with date and persimmon notesthat are melded seamlessly, picking up light bitter orange, ginger and greentea accents along the way. Echoes of sweet golden raisin and hazelnut linger onthe finish, which is polished and long. A beauty
