2000 Warre LBV (Bottle Matured)
It felt like time to try another of these after being reminded how well it showed at our January tasting. According to the label, bottled in 2004. Decanted and drunk immediately. A very fine sediment. Cork in great condition.
Very dark red with a lovely blackcurrant edge to it. Spicy on the nose - almost peppery. Swirled round the mouth, the tannins really kick in, with that lovely sensation of your mouth being sucked dry! Plenty of fruit to entertain as well.
This is showing really well and will probably improve over the next 5-10 years. Do I have the patience to find out though, given how much I am enjoying this now!?
