1977 Warre

Rich and highly concentrated, it has evolved into to open into a superb Port. Fragrant cassis and prunes nose, fleshy texture, loaded with ripe berry flavours, mellow tannins and a lush fruity finish. Powerful, yet impressively balanced. The 1977s have reached the middle stage of what will prove to be a long and distinguished life. Hugely enjoyable now and it will only get better. 

Mid reddish ruby with development. Hint of putty on the nose – rather odd. Round and sweet and full and easy. Tannins have almost melted. This could certainly be drunk now – lots of easy, slightly slack, opulence. No pain.
