Warre, Vintage other_regions concentrated yet impressively refined wine

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

with grainy tannins and firm acidity

but all the elements are nicely balanced

It's a series that has set the bar extraordinarily high

the finish hangs in there with its dusty cherries

Warre, Vintage other_regions concentrated yet impressively refined wineThis house makes rather restrained yet rich, flavorful vintage port and a very good tawny called Nimrod. Their vintage ports seem slow to develop, and while they never quite have the voluptuous richness of a Dow, Graham, or Fonseca, they have a unique mineral scented character that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1963 is very, very good and now fully mature.
