1994 Graham's Vintage Port
Posted: Wed May 25, 2016 11:32 am
A Graham's vertical private tasting at a fellow I do not know. He had bought all the bottles and they were of bottled in Porto. The bottles were opened after we arrived (not optimal) and served in 2 flights of 3, so basically pop'n pour. The were taken directly out of the wine refrigerator.
Dark red and muddy / murky color. The color was not that of an 22 year old port. The scent was off and smelled like TUC biscuits, salty crackers and churned butter. I dont know what was happening with this port. First I suspected it of being oxidised but we had a 2nd bottle from another vendor and that turned out the exact same way. Hugh disappointment as this was the port I was looking forward to the most. Undrinkable.
