āThe 1994 Grahamās Vintage Port, which incidentally carries quite noticeable sediment, as there is no fining or filtration, is beginning to show a little bricking on the rim. The bouquet is very harmonious and welcoming, featuring aromas of mulberry, roasted chestnut, pressed rose petals, autumn leaves and a hint of liquorice. The nose is not powerful; rather, it displays a brooding intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and lightly spiced with clove, pain dāĆ©pices and again, a scintilla of liquorice. Though it obviously has another 20 or 30 years in the tank, this mellow Grahamās is drinking beautifully now.ā
