Widely considered one of the all-time greats, the 1994 vintage was a knockout across the Douro, and Fonseca crafted one of its most legendary expressions. Known for their lush, full-bodied style, Fonseca’s 1994 Vintage Port has aged beautifully over the past three decades, combining opulence with precision. This is a wine of structure, richness, and real longevity—but it’s also incredibly satisfying right now.

Ripe blackberry, black plum, and fig are layered with cacao, clove, eucalyptus, and a touch of violet. The tannins have mellowed into a silky frame, the sweetness perfectly integrated, and the finish is deep and echoing with spice and dark fruit. It’s drinking beautifully today with a decant, but will continue evolving gracefully for another 10–20 years. Serve it with Stilton, dark chocolate desserts, or as a show-stopping solo act to end a special meal. A true classic.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 97
"One of the most spectacular 1994s, this opaque purple-colored wine is an exotic, flamboyant, ostentatious port. Extremely fragrant and pungent, with a flashy display of jammy cassis, pepper, licorice, and truffles, this port is an attention-grabber. Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. Everything is in place, with the brandy and tannin well-integrated, even concealed by the masses of fruit and glycerin." -RobertParker

"Tight knit – not giving much away on the nose, but silky fruit is underlying. Pure berry fruit palate initially with a super-fine tannic superstructure rising in the mouth, revealing its freshness and purity on a really beautifully defined finish. There is great architecture here."

Wine Spectator

WS 100
"Hold on to your hat. This is the best Fonseca since 1977, and it's probably even better than that classic vintage--more like the breathtaking 1948. Mind-blowing, with masses of color, aroma and fruit flavor. Smells like fermenting berries, boasting loads of crushed grape, violet and berry character. Big, full-bodied and very sweet, with tons of tannins and a sweet finish. Tannic and huge, it's a long-term, great Port."
