2011 Warre

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Restrained nose with some faint fruit showing. Fruit all over the initial impact on the palate but then a fiercely tannic mid-palate which softens nicely. The structured palate leads to a big and persistent finish. A mid-weight, well balanced port. 90-92. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
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!
