1978 Warre Cavadinha

[Alex Bridgeman]

WC78, decanted 1 day. A gentle brick red, around 40% opaque. Gentle strawberry preserve on the nose with a touch of mint. Attractive if a little restrained. Wonderfully balanced on the palate, gentle and elegant with the strawberry preserve and honey dominating the early palate. Honey and lime on the mid-palate. The elegance of the wine really shows on the aftertaste and dried red fruit finish with plenty of honey. Delicious and very mature. 91/100.

Tasted at the Warre Cavadinha Vertical on 28th March 2023.
