This was an odd duck Port for me. I don't have a lot of experience with Warre's, but I was expecting something a little more floral and feminine. The bottle wasn't bad, but it was a lot drier than I was expecting. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. I would recommend a much longer decant then my time of 5 1/2 hours as this drank better on Day 2 versus Day 1. This is a nice, pleasant although different Port. 91 points
