Typically Warre's in its feminine charm, exuding floral aromas of violets and rockrose. Supple, ripe black fruit flavours, underscorred by fresh acidity, rendering superb balance and elegance. Long, lingering finish with delicate tea-leaf notes.

JW says: Beautifully balanced and elegant this is a charming port. It has a nose reminiscent of dried flowers and a palate of plum and blackcurrant with just a tiny hint of pepper on the finish. A port full of elegance and grace that will only grow with age.

Harvested overnight from several 80 to 100 year old plantings in different Douro locations, the conditions of harvest could not have been more perfect. This is a fine Vintage Port with exceptional potential for celebrating future birthdays and anniversaries for those with the patience to buy now at modest prices and lay down. The 2016 vintage is expected to get to its best around 2030, staying there to at least 2040 and many years on.
