'Top 100 Wine of 1997 (#15)'/95 points Wine Spectator: "A great surprise for the vintage. Displays fabulous concentration and complex character with it's layers of very sweet fruit, chocolate and cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins. Long finish with plenty of grip. Beautiful wine. Best after 2008. (4/30/97)"
94 points Robert Parker: "One of the finest Warres I have ever tasted, this opaque purple-colored wine is made in a drier style (a la Dow), yet it is expressive, extremely full-bodied, with superb richness, purity, and well-integrated alcohol and tannin. It possesses a great mid-palate as well as impressive length. Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+. This is a profound example of Warre vintage port. (Oct 1996)"
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$120 list] The 1994 Vintage Port is pure finesse and elegance. Cedarwood, blackberry liqueur, plums, and exotic spices are followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless beauty that has a terrific mix of richness and freshness. It’s a beautiful wine. (3/20/18)"

5 stars, Michael Broadbent's Pocket Vintage Wine Companion: "...the most intensely dark of all the Symington '94s; typical resinous nose, lovely flavour, perfect balance, good length. Drink: now-2030. (2007)"
