Graham’s 1994 Vintage Port – great classic vintage from the Douro with depth and ageing potential

Graham’s 1994 Vintage Port is an impressive and age-worthy port from one of the Douro Valley’s most iconic houses. This is a classic vintage port at the absolute top of its class, created in one of the most recognized vintages in recent times. 1994 is considered one of the great vintage years, and this wine clearly shows why.

This is a port for the collector and connoisseur who seeks depth, complexity and a wine with history in every drop. Graham’s is known for its rich and fruit-driven style, and in this vintage you get a perfect balance of power, elegance and maturity.

The grapes were harvested in 1994 and the wine was bottled in 1996 after the classic two years of barrel aging that characterizes true vintage port. The wine has then evolved in the bottle for decades, fusing fruit, tannin and acidity into a harmonious and nuanced whole.

The wine is composed of grapes from several of Graham’s best quinta. Quinta dos Malvedos forms the backbone and contributes structure, power and ageability. The other vineyards add finesse, fruit and balance. The result is a port with both intensity and elegance.

Graham’s 1994 Vintage Port can be enjoyed now, where it shows a beautiful mature character. At the same time, it still has potential for further development in the cellar. This makes it a great choice for collectors and those looking for a very special wine experience.

Tasting notes
