TN: 1900 Warre Vintage Port

Decant: 4 hours - Identified from very faint branding on the cork, so should probably be considered "1900 believed Warre vintage port". An amazing colour, deeper than the Ferreira 1945 shown alongside it. A very complex nose. In the mouth, huge waves of strawberry syrup livened up with spice and mixed fruit. Surprisingly dry on the aftertaste, perhaps showing its age, but with some lovely Angostura Bitters, spicy and of decent length. Wonderfully alive. A piece of history. 91/100. 91 points
