TN: 1994 Marks & Spencers BOB Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 32 hours double decanted - Produced by Taylor Fladgate, believed to be Morgan 1994. Dark in colour, comparable with the Graham and Noval; dark on the rim. Lovely ripe and sweet loganberries on the nose with a fresh cut-grass undertone. Luscious and sweet impact in the mouth, with dry tannins coming through in the mid-palate and the strange green pithy undertone seen in the Noval. Lots of orange in the mix. Dry and tannic aftertaste, bringing rough cherry stones to mind. One of the few wines not showing many signs of being closed. A little short on the finish, but another which will probably be better in 5 years. 91 points
