A walkaround tasting of cask samples at the Montrachet Wines EP tasting of 2025 Bordeaux on 29 April 2026.
Warre 2024. In contrast to the wine from Quinta do Vesuvio, the Warre has a centre which is just transparent. The fruit on the nose has a beautiful floral perfume to it with a little more structure in the palate. Gentle tannins support and guide the fruit, giving the palate a lovely density yet with a finesse that was unexpected from the expressive nose. A wicked little twist to the excellent quality fruit comes from a kick of red peppercorn that just adds another little frisson of excitement as the wine fades gently away on the long finish. 92-94/100.
