The 1994 vintage was very successful for a number of regions around the world. Port enjoyed a legendary year, with many wines not only drinking well now but likely to carry on doing so for decades to come. Neighbouring Spain also had a very good vintage.

Our Wine Expert currently recommends the following wines for this year:

  • Barolo 1993 Cantine Prandi LAST LIBRARY STOCK
  • Bodegas Toro Albala 1993 Don Px Montilla Moriles
  • Barbaresco 1993 Sori Fratin Piazzo Armando
  • Tokaji 1993 Tokaji Royal Aszu Essencia
  • Ryst Dupeyron 1993 Reserve Joseph Millesime vintage Armagnac
  • Bairrada 1993 Quinta Poco do Lobo Cabernet

    Bordeaux: If you were born in 1993 or have a significant anniversary in that year, then we would recommend a Bordeaux wine or a Pedro Ximenez fortified wine.
    1993 Bordeaux: The 1993 in Bordeaux is considered to be a moderate vintage, following on from the poor vintages of 1991 and 1992. Despite some dilution from late rains in September, the better examples of wine from this year exhibit a deep colour, rich intensity and good structure. The top wines from 1993 find more favour with critics than 1991 and 1992 and should still offer a good drinking experience now.
     
    Italian: Italian wines from the 1993 vintage fared better than their predecessors in 1992 - the weather was still unfavourable, however there were more acceptable wines produced. Barolos from this vintage offered a good experience, and although fully mature are still drinking well.
     
    Portugal: The 1993 was one of the worst years ever for weather in the Douro, with rain falling throughout the harvest. No declarations were made and little or no vintage Port was made. We would recommend a 30 year old tawny style Port for a 30th Anniversary gift. Whilst these do not have 1993 on the label - they have been aging for 30 years and are amazing fortified wines.
