justerini & brooks tasting note

Warre’s is the oldest of all the British Port companies in Portugal, turning out some of the Douro’s greatest Ports for over three hundred years. Warre’s 2017 benefits from a higher proportion of natural field blends (63%) than many of the other houses, making up the balance with 22% Touriga Nacional and 15% Touriga Franca, which helps to build complexity, combined with tiny yields averaging a mere 500g per vine. Plush but controlled, with more floral violet accented aromatics, rocky, slatey tannins, blackberry coulis and buoyant fresh black cherries bounce across the palate. Delicious. 13.6% of Warre’s total vineyard production.
