(請留意: 部分陳年舊Port的瓶身正面會有白油的印記，而且瓶內會含有一定沉積物，此乃正常現象。 )
為何部分Port酒正面瓶身會有白油的印記?
大部分陳舊Port酒的正面瓶身都會有名為Splash Mark的白油印記。
此為酒莊在酒窖陳存酒瓶時的記號，以茲識別酒瓶陳放時正面朝上的方向並了解沉積物所累積的地方(即白油Splash Mark的反方)。
因此建議飲家在酒櫃存放Port酒時，同樣有酒標和白色Splash Mark的一面朝上方，並且在飲用前1-2天提前直立處置令沉積物提前沉至瓶底。
歷史/ 背景
於1820年在葡萄牙西北部之奧波多(Oporto)，興建俯視著斗羅河(Douro)的酒廠。Graham家族原籍蘇格蘭格拉斯高。在1890年，Graham收購了Quintados Malvedos，Graham是首批投資購買葡萄園的波特酒公司之一，這座朝南的莊園靠近Tua村，是斗羅境內位置最佳的園地之一，擁有非常特別的小區氣候，生產出口感強勁且豐富的酒，現已成為所有Graham波特酒最重要的產地代表，莊園的房子迄今仍屹立於山脊上，俯視山底下的斗羅河之綺麗風光，時至今日，因連續收購鄰近莊園而更加擴大，而前英國首相亦曾於1993和1994年在Malvedos避暑。
在1970年葛拉漢酒廠被Symington家族所收購，諷刺的是收購葛拉漢酒廠的辛明頓家族，亦是在1882年從蘇格蘭到達奧波多的。Graham的波特酒來自其Malvedos及位於Rio Torto Valley的葡萄園，這些葡萄園有些從上世紀初便已供應葡萄給Malvedos及來自Quinta da Vila Velha及Quinta de Vale de Malhadas。並且大部分來自這些莊園的波特酒都是用大石池以人腳踐踏來生產。1998年，Graham開始進行現代化：製造一種革命式的機械板桶設備容納四座機械釀酒桶，並嚐試釀造1999年採收的葡萄，毫無疑問辛明頓的最新發明將帶領斗羅河谷高地進入另一個新世紀。
Graham的年份波特酒每十年只有3年乎合最住生長條件釀造，在二千年代只有2000, 2003 及2007年有釀造。年份波特酒酒體濃郁、口感豐富並且結構優良的葡萄酒，常在盲品的試酒時被歸類為的最佳品牌及在拍賣場上常成為最高價的波特酒，Robert Parker著名酒評家說：「Graham是二次世界大戰後，最佳波特酒中酒質最穩定的品牌。」

Extremely complex aromas that show the classicGraham character of black-fruit marmalade and burnt oranges. Follows through toa full body with great grip at the finish. Lightly sweet. Chewy and powerful.Such a focus at the end

Super-ripewith an expressive plum and dark chocolate aroma. Rich opulence backed by darkchocolate intensity and spicy tannic grip – big and bold on the finish.Voluptuous with fabulous richness, big and bold on the finish. This is one forthe long haul but it’s already very impressive.
🏅 Wine Spectator 98 points
Thisoffers a distilled plum and boysenberry essence, with a racy feel, as spearmintand graphite notes drive through. As the finish kicks in, this turns toward thedark side, with ganache, charcoal and tar elements. Has the showy ripeness ofthe vintage but is backed by a decidedly dry feel on the finish, imparting a senseof precision despite the heft.
🏅 Wine Enthusiast 97 points
This finely structured wine is powered by finetannins and rich fruits. A touch of acidity comes through the rich berryflavors and the concentration of the dark tannins.
🏅 Vinous 96 points
The2016 Graham’s Vintage Port is inky black in colour. The bouquet is voluminousand intense, the aromas almost shrouding your head! Blackberry, black olive,clove and a touch of smoke, just a hint of pencil box in the background. Thepalate is brilliant, quite brilliant. Supple tannin, a satin-like texture,perfect balance and unerring purity, this is a fabulous Graham’s thateffortlessly fans out and caresses the senses on the finish. This Graham’s hashuge potential and is going to give a lot of pleasure for many years.

The2016 Vintage Port is a blend of 37% Touriga Nacional, 42% Touriga Franca andvarious others. It comes in with 115 grams of residual sugar. A bit bigger thanDow's this year, this is more intense as well. The better wine of these twobenchmarks seems to be this Graham's. Tight on the finish, aromatic and veryflavorful, this actually opens rather well and shows off its lovely fruit. TheDow's will be approachable a bit earlier, perhaps, and this may reward agingeven more. As always, Graham's is wonderfully delicious. That's one hallmark ofthe house. I'm not sure this is a truly great Graham's, but at the moment, itis enticing, with plenty of potential for improvement. There were 6,325 casesproduced, plus some bottles in other formats.

Extremelydeep purplish crimson. Wonderfully pure nose – so direct and intense. Long andschistous somehow. Very fresh fruit quality. Almost like a mouthwash, it’s sopure and brisk. Linear.
