1970 Warre

[Alex Bridgeman]

Deep red in colour, mature but youthful; 70% opaque. Black cherry and liquorice root on the nose - fruit and root! Wonderfully fragrant. Fabulous balance on entry, black cherry on the palate with some fine grained tannins. Young black cherry aftertaste and a long black cherry finish. Very young, and very impressive. 93/100. Tasted at the TPF Awards on 07-Feb-23. Decanted 8 hours.

I suggest we have The Port Forum awards ceremony!

And so we did, on Tuesday 7th February 2023, at the Boot & flogger, with live broadcast on the BBC, ITV, NBC, Fox, Disney, and YouTube.

W70. Glorious red, 50% opaque. Red fruit, and very tannic, with some grit.
