Here we have the extraordinary 1994 Graham’s ‘Single Harvest’ Tawny Port.

Graham's Port

December 15, 2021

For nearly 200 years W & J Graham’s has been an independent family business producing Port wines. Graham's was one of the first Port companies to invest in its own vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley in 1890 and today, five Symington cousins share responsibility for every aspect of the company and personally make the Graham’s wines. They too have been involved with Port and the Douro for many generations, with ancestry dating back to the mid-17th century.

Graham’s first harvest under the ownership of the Symington family came with the famed Graham’s 1970 Vintage Port being declared. The 1970 is thought by many to be one of the greatest wines of that century. Nearly an hundred years after their ancestor AJ Symington left Graham’s to set up on his own as a Port producer, the family’s relationship with this Port house came full circle. Besides the family’s other Port marques, Graham’s is the only remaining British Port company independently owned by a single family. Learn more about this historic Port house at https://www.grahams-port.com/ and here is my reviews of the extraordinary 1994 Graham’s ‘Single Harvest’ Tawny Port and the even better 2017 Graham’s Vintage Port.

2017 Graham’s Vintage Port- Dense and brooding once in the glass, the 2017 Graham’s Port is an astonishingly good new wine that will surely stand the test of time. Crafted from the earliest harvest in history, a massive cloud of dark and blue fruits greet you aromatically with toffee and Arabica bean notes. Viscous and dense on the palate, this reveals heady blackberry, black cherry cordial and mocha flavors alongside a brilliant sense of tension. Wait for the exceedingly long finish! Drink 2030-2055- 96


1994 Graham’s ‘Single Harvest’ Tawny Port- Beautifully evolved now, the 1994 Graham’s ‘Single Harvest’ Tawny Port is really right in its sweet spot. Bright acidity combines with shades of Macadamia nut crusted toffee and bright red fruits on the palate. Silky and elegant, this finishes exceedingly long with vanilla bean cream and creme caramel. Enjoy this beautiful wine over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2021-2033- 94
