1997 Warre's, Port, Portugal

Description

The Institute of Masters of Wine organised a comprehensive tasting of 1997 ports to be tasted in alphabetical order. No. 34 was Warre and what a wonderful way to finish. Powerful and harmonious with a beautifully integrated tannins, its is colour holding very well, with no spirity notes or signs of premature ageing that have been noted with some of the 1997s. Indeed the fact that it was placed last is indicative not of the fact that W is close to the end of the alphabet, I suspect, but rather because the Warre 97, of all the great wines produced in that year, is currently showing the best.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20
Ageing crimson. Concentrated and dry. Very sweet start and then a bit dead on the palate. The fruit may be slightly overripe. Dried out a bit. Not the finest. Strained. Tannins a bit green.

About this wine

Warre's

Warre's is the oldest, continuously British-owned brand, as well as one of the most distinguished. The firm that became Warre’s was established in 1670. Two Englishmen, William Burgoyne and John Jackson opened offices in northern Portugal as Burgoyne & Jackson which was initially a general trading company.

Porto

Porto

Rich, saccharine, intensely-flavoured and, at their best, wonderfully majestic and harmonious, these are wines to be savoured on their own, or with a fine chunk of cheese after a meal. Port comes from the stunning Douro region of Portugal, about 50 miles east of Oporto, and is made in two different styles: bottle-aged and cask-aged.
