GRAHAM
1994
| Origin | Portugal, Port |

Purple to black. Perfumed nose. Sweet liquorice fruit, very ripe. Not as immediately powerful as Dow or Taylor, but deceptively muscular and very very seductive. L&S (Mar 2005)

The 1994 Graham’s Vintage Port, which incidentally carries quite noticeable sediment, as there is no fining or filtration, is beginning to show a little bricking on the rim. The bouquet is very harmonious and welcoming, featuring aromas of mulberry, roasted chestnut, pressed rose petals, autumn leaves and a hint of liquorice. The nose is not powerful; rather, it displays a brooding intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and lightly spiced with clove, pain d’épices and again, a scintilla of liquorice. Though it obviously has another 20 or 30 years in the tank, this mellow Graham’s is drinking beautifully now. Tasted at the Symington Tawny Port tasting at the Tower of London. Drinking range: 2018 - 2050 Rating: 95 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2018)
A high score 16 years ago and the same now. Deep and dark with more to give on the nose. Hot and cooked, or maybe just a stage it's going through. Voluptuous mint and liquorice notes, and ripe tannins on the finish. Drinking range: 2019 - 2050 Rating: 93 Decanter Magazine (Dec 2014)
The nose is quite tight at the moment and the fruit on the palate is held back by the structure. Towards the back the black fruit mix shows its paces, depth and character. There is some underling red fruit freshness that lifts the flavours. 2014-35 Rating: 95 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)
