A great Vintage to match the 1994. Declared by most shippers and now heavily under demand. Wonderful concentration of rich fruit with wonderful balance. One of the top wines of the Vintage, to keep.
Vintage Ports are produced in years when the harvest and the resulting wines are found to be exceptional. This occurs, on average, about 3 times per decade. After aging for 18 months in cask, the best wines of some the finest Quintas in the Douro.

- Medium dark ruby color with a purplish meniscus. Given enough time in decanter, I’d have no problem sipping an entire bottle of this wine today with my wife as she’d love this style. Even though it is easy-to-enjoy now, the structural components deliver the goods and this will be a stellar wine to keep in the cellar until around 2025 when it should start to reach its peak. Yummy and impressive taste and mouthfeel, with a finish that is long and memorable.
