1970 Warre

Post by 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.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

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