1980 Warre's Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:08 pm
With my family for Canadian Thanksgiving. Very dark purple. It was opened beside a 2011 Quinta da Gricha and showed just as dark, and very purple. It did, however, smell older. The Warre smelled of dried plum and figs, and a little bit floral. Tasting it, I thought it was still quite sweet and very smooth. It gave my mouth a good coating that almost numbed my tongue. A little heat in the middle warmed up my taste buds, though, and the finish was long and sweet again. Very pleasant, and everyone at the table gave it a rave review. Decanted for 6 hours.
