the 2012 Cristal Rosé is a Champagne of tremendous gravitas

with a core of cherry and red currant fruit

all held taut by a fine weave of tannic structure

a short distance from the famous Gleneagles golf course

intense waves of supple fruit roll on and on in the mouth whilst a massive level of chiselled

1983 Graham's, Port, Portugal Unit of Measure:12 X 750ML the 2012 Cristal Rosé isTo my mind, Grahams has always been one of the best Ports from the overlooked 1983 vintage. Typically a richer, slightly sweeter style than some of the other big names, this is Vintage Port at its most noble, yet inviting. The 83 is maturing gracefully now, with rounded figgy fruit on the palate, and a long warming finish. Decant a bottle on Christmas morning to go with the pudding, and it will still be lovely with some Stilton on Boxing Day. Philip
