2002 Warre Cavadinha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

WC02, decanted 1 day. Dark red with a medium rim. Fragrant nose, lots of flower perfume and a little blackcurrant jam. Blackcurrant on the palate, balanced structure supporting the blackcurrant. Young and vibrant. Delicious blackcurrant aftertaste and finish, with a seriously impressive blackcurrant finish. I preferred this to the 2001, despite the wet vintage. 92/100.

Tasted at the Warre Cavadinha Vertical on 28th March 2023.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
