1966 Warre

Post by jdaw1 »

On Wednesday 2nd May 2012 Johnny Symington joined some regulars at The Bung Hole” , partly to show off the Graham 1952 Single Harvest Tawny. All this after a day spent at The Big Fortified Tasting.

Bottled by Mayor Sworder. Mature, red colour - mid-maturity. Wonderful nose, full and vibrant. Delightful palate, lots of fruit up front and with supportive but soft tannins. Very spicy core to the mid-palate - really still quite lively. Long finish, drinking really beautifully. 92/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
