1970 Warre vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Opened as part of the Wokingham offline on 11 June 2009.

Ullaged to low shoulder. Dark red / brown in colour. Muted nose with a bit of coriander or curry leaf mixed in with the sweetness. Bland in the mouth, really hollow but some black treacle flavours. Hard work brings out some blackened sugar. Lively oranges and lime on the aftertaste with a lovely long finish that is unexpected in size and duration. Odd wine - wonder what to make of this? 85/100.
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!
