Wine Tasting Note

    I have two bottles of Graham's Malvedos Vintge 1965. Obviously not a great vintage but will it still be drinkable and how good will it be?Posted on Jan 21, 2007

    I have no idea, but I'll make an educated guess on this. =)

    It's a SQVP, it is of a lesser year so I would assume it has passed it's prime.

    SQVP's are usually made in the in between years of widely declared vintages and usually mature a lot faster. It also matters a lot how it has been stored '67-now. But if the cork is still good it should be drinkable.

    However, the only way to know if it's enjoyable is to try it.

    I would also really watch out for sediment when you open the bottle. Port that old will have a large amount of sediment at the bottom that may be up to 2 cm (~1 inch).

    Keep the bottle standing up for at least 1 day (best 1 week), then decant it and pour carefully.
