A very successful Vintage for Warres with several leading critics singing its praises shortly after the wines initial en primeur release. Following nearly three decades of quietly ageing in the Symington familys own reserve stocks in the Warres Vintage cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, the family have decided to release a limited quantity to provide lovers of fine wine with a unique opportunity to acquire and enjoy a Vintage Port that has aged under perfect conditions and is now at a perfect stage in its development.

Hanging on well to its deep, dark red colour, suggesting a still youthful wine. Very expressive aromas with Warres characteristically fresh, floral element
(rose garden fragrance). There are also secondary aromas of red fruits, combined with eucalyptus and soft mint. The generous fruit on the palate combines with suggestions of tobacco and tea, melding with polished tannins. The creamy texture reflects Warres hallmark elegance and grace, but as with other Warres Vintages at this stage in their development, it promises further ageing capacity.
