1994 Fonseca Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 Fonseca Vintage Port from Robert Parker - with a score of 97 points. One of the most spectacular 1994s, this opaque purple-colored wine is an exotic, flamboyant, ostentatious port. Extremely fragrant and pungent, with a flashy display of jammy cassis, pepper, licorice, and truffles, this port is an attention-grabber. Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. Everything is in place, with the brandy and tannin well-integrated, even concealed by the masses of fruit and glycerin. This wine will drink fabulously well at age ten, but keep for up to thirty years. Anticipated maturity 2002-2035. 1994 Grahams Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 95 points, Wine Spectator 95 points, CellarTracker 93 points.
