Deep garnet, 70% opaque. Lovely nose of cherries. Lushly sweet red fruit on the palate, with just a hint of spirit on the finish. Really pretty wine. My #2 WOTN.
Re: 1994 Warre
75% opacity, dark red. Lovely rich Christmas cake nose, cranberries, mild spice and come chocolate. Soft, gentle entry, rich sweetness, cranberries and chocolate. Lovely full mouthfeel, great balance. Very nice juice!

Maintains a burgundy hint to the mid to deep colour. Quite an open nose showing fruit and early signs of maturity. Lovely integration all round with figgy/date/nutty notes developing around the fruit and providing the best nose on the night-quite perfumed. Sweet and resolving on entry with balance, and nice liquorice note on smooth, longish finish. This mid weight port is a real charmer and very easy to drink today.

W94. Dark red, 60% opaque. Weight mid-to-light; strong bitterness; nice balance though.
