I too just saw it the other day for the first time and realized I didn't recall any mention of it before. Hmm, guess I'll have to grab one and give a proper TN.Al B. wrote:The 1999 is the vintage that is now appearing in the stores in the UK, but I've not tried one yet.

I picked up a bottle not too long ago. I liked it and I think it will be as good as the 1995 in a few years.
1999 Warre Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (11/25/2007)
Dark red. Fuity and grapey. Some chocolate on the nose too. Sweet with balanced acidity. Moderate fine grained tannins. Very primary. Medium length finish with a nice warmth to it. It's ready for drinking now but will easily age 5 or 10 years and may improve.
A week later this is still really good. Some nice cherry fruit on the nose and palate with well integrated alcohol. (89 pts.)

Thanks David,
