1977 Warre's Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2007 8:10 pm
Everyone here on FTLOP seems to be drinking this right now so I thought, what the hell, why not break my one bottle open?
Slight signs of seepage. Cork fell into the bottle.
+4 hours decanting -- incredibly smooth with little heat, fruit, wood and cocoa.
While not super complex, absolutely delicious and a good example of why I like vintage port. This example, at least, does not seem to be headed to tawny anytime soon. I think this port has years ahead of it but I don't think it has the backbone to improve much.
I give it a 93/100
