1994 Graham Single Harvest Tawny (bottled 2020)

1994 Graham Colheita (Single Harvest Tawny)

Very clean flavour, fresh; not yet old enough to gain much intensity, but lovely flavours (caramels, light nuts, perhaps a little raisin), strong acidity then cuts across growing complexity and great length. Delicious, and should be very interesting with more age and intensity.

Any idea when the wine was bottled?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Phil,

Are you saying the already bottled version should be very interesting with more age or are you referring to the '94 that's still in barrel to be bottled at a later date?

The latter. It's an excellent wine, and further barrel age will likely increase the intensity; I'll be very interested to see how future bottlings taste as I think they could be great.
