Sidenote: The label clearly states "Reserve Tawny", so it appears that Warre's was on top of this new designation long before the Graham's people got on board with "The Tawny".

1987 Warre's Reserve Tawny Port
Bottled in 1997. I was expecting more of a "colheita" type tawny with golden brown color, nuts, toffee, etc. What I got was quite different than that - more like an LBV or Ruby port with cherry compote, white pepper, and a hint of bittersweet chocolate on the finish. Good integration of spirit and it was a pleasure to drink.
