Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalWarre's Warrior Special Reserve is the oldest mark of Port having been shipped continuously since the 1750s. It's still being made the same way - aged in seasoned oak casks for 4 to 5 years before being drawn off and bottled following a light filtration. Like all the wood ports in this category Warrior Special Reserve is ready to drink sans decanting. Look for dark, intense ripe prune fruit and a strong cocoa powder flavour. Not as sweet as the Graham's and not as dry as the Dow. A pleasing fireside sipper -- break out the toasted walnuts.Tasted: 26 November 2008Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalWarrior is the oldest mark of Port having been shipped continuously since the 1750s. The style has changed little over time. It's aged in seasoned oak casks for 4 to 5 years before being drawn off and bottled following a light filtration. Warrior Special Reserve is ready for immediate drinking and like the Six Grapes does not require any decanting or ageing. Look for dark, intense fruit and a strong chocolate/mocha flavour. Not as sweet as the Warrior and not as dry as the Dow. A pleasing fireside sipper -- break out the toasted walnuts.Tasted: 07 December 2003Tasted by: Prices:
