50 years ago, the 1966 vintage was born. A few of us gathered at The Boot & Flogger to discuss the vintage.
1966 Warre
Re: 1966 Warre
Really smooth, almost no heat, syrupy fruit - strawberries which have been stewed. Really jammy mouthfeel.
Later, losing a bit of structure, and more syrupy.

Deep rosy-pink, 50% opaque. Gentle nose of spiced cherries, soft but attractive. Fruit on the palate, sweet maraschino cherry with nutmeg giving a lively pepperiness. The pepperiness follows through onto the aftertaste; the sweet fruit lacks a shade of acidity to keep the port in focus and balance. 88
