2006 Warre LBV
Posted: 13:42 Sat 05 May 2012
A replacement for a corked 1996 Niepoort LBV. It certainly put the smile back on my face. I didn't notice a review so I am prompted to write.
Intense magenta colour staining the glass when swirled. A bouquet of violets and rum and raisin ice cream. Medium weight palate in the savoury Warre style. A lot of acidity and tannin promises a relatively long future. The antithesis of a 2005 Taylors LBV had recently. Both polished but the Taylors had no edges whereas the Warres is quite stern. Excellent LBV.
