Hanging on well to its deep, dark red colour, suggesting a still youthful wine. Very expressive aromas with Warre’s characteristically fresh, floral element (rose garden fragrance). There are also secondary aromas of red fruits, combined with eucalyptus and soft mint. The generous fruit on the palate combines with suggestions of tobacco and tea, melding with polished tannins. The creamy texture reflects Warre’s hallmark elegance and grace, but as with other Warre’s Vintages at this stage in their development, it promises further ageing capacity. Symington tasting room, September 2021.
Food-Pairing
This port is delicious with foie gras, certain cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort), as an aperitif or as dessert wine

Critics & Awards
93/100 - Falstaff Tasted: Feb 2016
Strong ruby, good core of colour, delicate ochre rim. Dark berry notes, some liquorice, fine leather touch, gentle herbal savouriness. Substantial, elegant, already well developed, sweet fruit core, round tannins, red fruit of the forest confit on the finish, a refined food wine.
