1994
Graham’s 1994 Vintage Port 750 mL
$399.99Ripe blackberry, plum and cherry open with chocolate, licorice, tobacco and warm spice. The palate is powerful and concentrated, balancing generous fruit with velvety tannins and Graham’s characteristic richness. Its sweetness is measured by depth and structure rather than simple weight. The finish is long and composed, lingering on dark fruit, cocoa, spice and a firm, mature persistence.
Domaine Armand Rousseau 1994 Chambertin Grand Cru
$4,589.99Mature and remarkably balanced, with red fruit retaining freshness despite the vintage’s leaner reputation. The palate avoids undue heaviness or tired fruit, showing a composed structure and firm, lightly green-edged tannins on the finish. It is drinking well now and may continue to hold. Stand upright, open carefully and serve with roast game or earthy mushroom dishes.
Taylor Fladgate 1994 Vintage Port
$424.99Blackberry, blackcurrant and violet rise from a deep, focused bouquet, with fig, liquorice and warm spice adding complexity. Full-bodied and firmly structured, the palate carries concentrated cassis and ripe dark fruit with freshness and poise. The finish is long, sumptuous and gently spiced. Decant carefully and serve with Stilton, walnuts or dark chocolate.
Broadbent 1994 Vintage Port
$199.99Pepper and warm spice frame a concentrated core of dark fruit. The palate is broad and generous, carrying black cherry, plum and a touch of liquorice through a smooth, mature texture. Firm but resolved tannins give the sweetness shape rather than weight. The finish is long and warming, leaving dark berries, cocoa, spice and a gently savoury echo.
Smith Woodhouse 1994 Vintage Port
$159.99An intense colour introduces a rich, concentrated style with a distinctive floral bouquet. Dark fruit fills the palate, framed by integrated tannins and enough freshness to keep the sweetness composed. Full-bodied and powerful without losing balance, it finishes with depth and persistence. Stand upright and decant carefully before serving with blue cheese, aged cheddar or walnuts.
Château Léoville-Las Cases 1994 Saint-Julien
$464.99Elegant and mature, with blackberry, cassis and ripe fruit set against earth, liquorice, discreet spice, vanilla and oak. Medium-bodied, the palate has refined acidity, balanced silky tannins and a measured, savoury finish that shows a lightly drying edge. Give it about two hours in a decanter and serve with simply roasted beef or lamb.
Château Haut-Brion 1994 Pessac-Leognan
$1,699.99Deep plum-ruby in colour, with black cherry and currant layered over truffle, earth, dried herbs, licorice and a smoky spice-box note. Medium-bodied, the palate is supple and harmonious, combining a plump, gently chewy texture with fresh lift and fine, still-present tannins. Savoury complexity carries through the long finish; decant before serving with beef or lamb.
