1997 Warre

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Tasted at the Confraria dinner. Really perfumed, lovely on the nose. Less lovely on the palate, lacking some balance. Lots of tannin but with fruit that is light and a little watery, creating a slightly flabby impression. A great aftertaste. 89/100. 22-Jun-17. Decanted 12 hours.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
