Brown, burnt fudge colour. Not so much ditchwater brown as Christmas cake brown. 2D chocolate current juice, the finish saying hello to the fully oxidised fluffy caramel era. A lot of oomph, albeit indicative of erstwhile greatness.

Soft, broad, plummy & creamy. Classic Warre brooding blue/red fruit, but not muted as it sometimes can be. Juicy cherry buns. Charming length and fruit complexity. So good.

That featherweight, clean, electric glossiness. Still good hints of maraschino and apricot, finish only just starting to peter out but overall still holding together. Excellent fun. A lot of vibrancy if not weight.

Minty brambles and damp hedgerow, very dry. By the end of the night became a muggy but pleasant drink, the brooding closed fruit showing itself a little more. Good heft to the palate.

23rd also works for me!

Will get there hopefully for 1830 on the dot.

I don’t have bottles meeting specification (oldest are Warre 2004, 2007, 2008). So please waitlist me, and if it doesn’t fill then I’ll adopt. There doesn't appear to be any mad rush for this one, so I've put you in with adoption of my Delaforce 1995. Memory failure: I do have Warre ʟʙᴠs from 1981,...
