Graham's 1994 is a legendary Vintage Port. PortDB models its drinking window as opening in 2014, remaining prime through 2071, and declining from 2099. That window starts with the opulent maturation style assigned to Graham's, then adjusts for the legendary vintage tier.

The vintage tier is an editorial judgement based on critic consensus; the drinking window is PortDB’s model, not a measurement. Storage and bottle variation can move the practical window.
