"Very extracted dark burgundy color. Each time I get to try this particular Warre’s VP, I see more to enjoy. Here the nose was really demonstrative with a black cherry, tea and gentle kiss of mint that was tantalizing playing off of the tea scent. Smooth and chewy with brash blackcurrant and fig flavors, this shows incredible youth for a Port approaching 25 years old. Still some tannins to reckon with, this appears headed for some solid drinking around 40 years of age, with bottles of this quality."
