2001 Warre Cavadinha

[Alex Bridgeman]

WC01 decanted 1 day. Dark red with a medium to narrow rim. Delicious nose, full of black plum fruit and flower perfume. Smooth texture entry. Lovely dark fruit with a touch of tannin. Young but with a little assuredness from some maturity; great balance. Fragrant fruit aftertaste and a long dark fruit finish. The only drawback of this wine is the density and intensity of the fruit in this wine - little more and it would have been a stunning wine. But make no mistake, this is delicious drinking now and for the next 50 years. 91/100.

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