Graham's, Vintage Port, 2000

For some time Graham’s have been developing a machine called the ‘Robotic Lagar’ to operate in conjunction with their traditional stone Lagares, and with the 2000 vintage this has now come to fruition. Since this method exchanges robotic panels for human feet, it allows tireless extraction opportunities, hugely important in a year like 2000 when a low ratio of juice to skin in the grapes made extraction difficult. The final blend represents a spectacular combination of gutsy Graham’s richness, seductively ripe, fragrant currant fruit and incredibly fine tannin.
