TN: 1970 Warre Vintage Port
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:31 am
Decant: 12 hours - Decanted for 12 hours and drunk on 30/1/08.
Distinctly red center, although paler than wine C. A lovely soft smokey nose bringing damsons and Victoria plums. An acidic structure but well balanced, tannins soft and well integrated with lots of damsons and some cherry. Terrific mid-palate with aniseed and plum. Very long length, just filling the mouth with Christmas cake. Excellent port. 7/7 or 92/100. 92 points
