Graham,
Ready, but will improve,
Celebrated for its luscious sweet style, Graham's 1994 is typically grandiose in design.The nose is starting to open out, with crushed berries and hints of pepper to the fore. On the palate sweet chocolate and brambly fruit are tempered by tighly-knit tannins and spice. This is a polished and stylish wine with a long life ahead.

Fonseca,
Ready, but will improve,
Seductive an powerful nose with fruit characters of damsons, cherries, and blackcurrants leading on to a lusciously sweet palate displaying creamy black fruits with hints of caramel. Very ripe tannins, marvellous grip and a long powerful and harmonious finish one of the finest Fonsecas of the last 25 years.

Warre,
Ready, but will improve,
Some in the old guard might call it infanticide, but this is still youthful and drink rather well now. Aside from its luscious sweetness, concentrated black and red berried fruit, liquorice and herbal notes, this wine is all about texture, body, and layered complexity. Perfect with Christmas pudding, a multitude of cheeses, various cakes or alone…just the two of you.
Demetri Walters MW - Wine Buyer
Very concentrated on the palate, full bodied with layers of plum and black fruits. I would drink it now or hold onto it for another decade, if you can.

Martinez,
Ready, but will keep,
Martinez started as an importer of port into London over 200 years ago, peaking in 1849 as the largest importer to the UK. Harvey's of Bristol then acquired the company and it is now a minnow in Allied-Domecq's portfolio. They made a very successful wine in the very fine, universally declared, 1994 vintage and it is good to see such an historic name back in business.
Rather than maturing their wines in Vila Nova da Gaia, Martinez keeps their casks for as long as possible in the heady temperatures of the Upper Douro. As a result, the wines can be distinctive and idiosyncratic, full-bodied and rich. From the attractive burnt nose to the palate, which marries raisin and cherry flavours, this wine oozes class and potential. Drink now to 2020.
