1982 Warre LBV, unfiltered, bottled 1986. Recently decanted. Mediumly translucent good red. Nosing of “burgundy and cheese (bottle stink)†. Initialy hot and thin. Later the heat had gone, being replaced with something between mandarin and mint. Like a light VP, though an LBV thinness makes it slightly imperfect as a VP. My second favourite.
