1994 Graham's Vintage Port

Decanted for 3-5 hours. Colour is starting to show some age with a hint of brick. On the nose it is fruity mixed with heat. Blackberries and strawberries predominately. On the palate it is very jammmy (dark fruits) and fruit forward with soft tannins balancing it. If you like your ports fruity and sweet (as I often do), this is definitely a treat. The finish is long and nice leaving you feeling pleasant. It stills seems a little young despite being 16 years old already. This was a real treat to drink and I look forward to more in the future! 95 - 96 pts.

Thanks for the TN. I've heard lots of good things about this Port, and I'm looking forward to try it myself.

Markus,
Great note and glad you loved this one. It surely is one of a number of top notch VP's from that vintage.

Do try to get some, one to try now as a reference and some to lay down for way down the road. As Markus mentioned this is still a very youthful VP.

Yeah, I will. They've become quite pricy, but I'll add a few to the mixed case I'll order soon.
