Warre's Vintage Port 2016

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalWarre 2016 is 46/37 mix of touriga nacional and touriga franca and just under half of that is from old inter-planted vineyards. The nose is broad and highly expressive offering floral violets, and when the sweet, black, smoky fruit hits your palate it is almost overwhelming. This is a more hedonistic style that offers charm and elegance over power and complexity, at least for the moment. The finish is softer and shorter than the top wines, but this is a fine, mid-term, 20-year port in my estimation.Tasted: 23 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
