Warres

Vintage Port

94/100 The 2016 Warres Vintage Port was picked from 19 September, the harvest took 10 days longer than usual in order to gain optimal ripeness. It has a tightly-wound but compelling bouquet with intense black fruit laced with clove, nutmeg and touches of smoke. This is a Warres with great precision and detail. The palate is sheer class: saturated ripe tannin that belie the structure underneath. There is a symmetry about this Vintage Port and a tension that keeps you returning for more. Wow. This is one of the finest Warres that I have tasted at declaration. Bravo! Production is 4,250 cases. Drink 2026 - 2070. - Neal Martin
