in 2023 re-released: 1994 Vintage Port von Graham's

1994 war für Jahrgangs-Ports ein absolut großer Jahrgang. Den 1994er Vintage Port von Graham's konnten wir im Dezember 2023 bei einer re-release ab Weingut neu einkaufen. Das bedeutet, daß dieser gereifte Port direkt vom Weingut geliefert wurde und sich in einem überragenden Lagerzustand befindet. Denn dieser Port ist nicht bereits um die Welt gereist, wie man das bei anderen verfügbaren Flaschen nicht ausschließen kann.

sexy und unwiderstehlich verführerisch

Parker 95 | The 1994 Vintage Port is going to be re-released. It has about 100 grams per liter of residual sugar. With a big eucalyptus note up front, this is elegant in the mid-palate with controlled tannins. Sweet and easy in some ways, this is readily approachable now, perhaps not at peak, but more expressive than the relatively brooding Dow's, also reviewed. The hint of caramel and raisins mixed with sugar makes this irresistible. It is sexy and intriguing.

jetzt wunderschön zu trinken kann aber auch 20 Jahre liegen

Galloni 95 | Neal Martin schreibt auf vinous.com: The 1994 Graham's Vintage Port, which incidentally carrie 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 aomas of mulberry, roasted chestnut, pressed rose petals, autumn leaves and a hint of licorice. 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 licorice. Though it obviously has another 20 to 30 years in the tank, this mellow Graham's is drinking beautifully now. Tasted November 2018.
