96 points “In a Port tasting tasting Graham’s is almost like tasting a big rich succulent Merlot after a group of blockbuster tannic Cabernets. Sweeter and more obvious than many Ports the opaque purple-coloured 1994 is fruity powerful and rich with an addictive hedonistic quality… As always this is a showy flamboyant Port that has the advantage of being slightly sweeter than other 1994s. A great Graham’s.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
95+ points “Vinous extremely balanced and offering scents of red liquorice and raspberry fruit with a mocha note. The 1994 offers focused and concentrated fruit that stands out in a crowd. The acidity and ripe round tannins deliver deft balance. This is going to reward patience and although easy to sip now Graham’s ’94 will evolve at a high level for another five decades and should be permitted to improve in bottle. It’s a remarkable classic Vintage Port.” – For the Love of Port
The 1994 is one of the most classic expressions of Graham’s Vintage Port of the 20th Century and maybe the finest of the post-World War II era.
