1970 Warre
Posted: 23:12 Sat 30 Jul 2022
... Opened 26 hrs ago but tasting note only now written on retasting.
This bottle IN and the cork came out clean.
A full rich garnet on a little paling at rim.
Nose of violets and esteva and blackcurrant vitamin D gummies An added powdery note. Parma violets?
Smooth entry. Blackcurrant jam, cranberry, aniseed.
Long congruent finish. All finesse, no heat, a gentle warmth.
Slightly less ravishing than yesterday after a thirty minute decant however.
I have been enjoying this wine for 31 years. An argument could be made that it is towards the end of its plateau but equally I have been saying that for a decade and in truth I suspect it will still be excellent two decades hence albeit more fragile.
In the words of a classic tasting note on this site 'impossible to be overstocked'.
