The 1993 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. Any of these wines would make a fabulous 32 year old wine gift for an Anniversary or birthday.

    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.

    Toro Albalá, 1993

    Don PX 1993, Montilla-Moriles | 75cl Bottle

    Pedro Ximénez (often abbreviated as PX) is a sweet, fortified wine primarily produced in Spain, especially in the regions of Jerez (Sherry) and Montilla-Moriles. It is made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, which is sun-dried to concentrate its sugars before fermentation. The result is a wine that is intensely sweet, rich, and dark, with a syrupy texture.

    Often described as "dessert in a glass," PX wines are bursting with flavors of raisins, molasses, dried figs, caramel, chocolate, and nuts like toasted almonds or hazelnuts. The wine’s sweetness is balanced by its complex and layered profile, making it a luxurious treat for the palate.

    Cantine Prandi, 1993

    Barolo, Piedmont
    Excellent provenance

    Clearance Offer | Was £89 | Now £50

    The 1993 Barolo Cantine Prandi have come from the producer's cellars where they have laid undisturbed since bottling.

    Cantine Prandi was established in the 1920s when grandfather Farinetti Majorino envisioned selling part of the wine produced for family use to the commercial market. In the 1960's his nephew Giovanni came to lend a hand and was instrumental in shaping the winery and its future development. Up to 2009, Giovanni's son Alessandro looked after the beautiful vineyards situated in the long hills surrounding Piemonte. In recent years, due to Alessandro's passing, the winery ceased production.

    Nebbiolo, 1993

    Fontanafredda
    Clearance Offer - Last Bottle | Was £119 | Now £80

    The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present. Cherries on the palate too. Nice finish. Great food wine. Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

    Tokaji, 1993

    Tokaji Royal Aszu Essencia
    (Half litre, 50cl), Hungary

    Situated along the southern slopes of the Zemplén Mountains, Tokaj is characterized by late springs and short growing seasons. The average temperatures are generally cool, with long, sunny summers and dry autumns. Tokaj’s soil is largely clay or loess with a volcanic substratum; vines are approximately 20 years old. The meeting of the Tisza and Bodrog rivers in Tokaj creates a mist similar to that of the fog in Sauternes. The mist encourages “botrytis cinerea,” or “noble rot,” which dries and shrivels the Furmint, Hárslevelü and Muscat grape varieties that comprise Tokaji wines, and concentrates the sugars.

This First Growth Pauillac is known for its meticulous craftsmanship, and the 1993 vintage reflects the estate’s dedication to quality even in less-than-ideal conditions.
