1983 Warre Vintage Port
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:52 pm
Decant: 2 hours - Modest red colour, firm rim, 80% opaque. Tight on the nose, full of sage and cranberries. Neutral entry, restrained, with very gentle and soft tannins. Lots of generous fruit and plenty of sweetness; mouthfilling but a touch too much acidity. Tremendously long finish, very sweet and concentrated. Slightly odd because the aftertaste disappears before the finish comes in strongly. Served blind, this was guessed to be the Dow 1983. 89 points
