Tasting notes
Deep, healthy crimson with good evolution at the rim. This smells just like fruit gums. Very good intensity of both colour and fruit. Real roundness on the front palate initially obscures the excellent round, ripe tannins. This is classy! Lots there, all interesting. Lift and a vigorous dry finish. (JR)

Although the color is impressive, the 1994 vintage port tastes one-dimensional and awkward. The tannin and alcohol dominate the wine's personality, but there is good weight, depth, and length. At present, it is unknit and not yet harmonious. It should keep for twenty years, but I wonder about its balance. The Ferreira offerings reviewed in this segment are an uninspiring group of ports.
