Is Noval Nacional 1994 the heir apparent to the 1931 Noval?

Many experts believe so. I have tasted the 1994 Nacional and have been amazed by its great length and early-stage development (very fruity, hint of strawberry when a baby), slowly becoming more rounded and taking on depth. I am interested in others' opinions.

Given that the 1994 Nacional is the ONLY VINTAGE PORT that I have ever given 100 points to, my answer would have to be a resounding, YES.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
