Tasted at The Big Fortified Tasting, a trade fair in London at Glaziers Hall on Wed 06 April 2011 (Review thread, containing links to other tasting notes). This being a large trade-fair event, tasting notes generally brief.
W09. Extreme violets. Very mouthfillingly large. And very drinkable. Liked.

Re: 2009 Warre
Cask Sample 5 2009 VP
Soft and supple on the nose, with a good combination of fruit and grapiness. In the mouth, very supple and soft, with rounded tannins. This may bloom early into a good Port.

Re: 2009 Warre
Cask sample. 500 cases made. The wine has been blended and released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the liberation of Oporto by William Warre. Bright blueberry nose, very elegant restrained fruit. Huge levels of acidity on the palate, but the violet fruit comes through to dominate. soft mulberries and tannins on the aftertaste and a surprisingly subdued finish. 87-89/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
