Founded in 1670, Warre’s is the oldest British Port company established in Portugal and has been a family business for more than 14 generations. The 2016 vintage was exceptional in the Douro and produced wines of excellent structure, balance and elegance. A blend of 46% Touriga Nacional and 37% Touriga France from three prized vineyards, this is a classic release with both early drinking appeal and good ageing potential.

The 2016 Warre’s Vintage Port was picked from 19 September, the harvest took 10 days longer than usual in order to gain optimal ripeness. It has a tightly-wound but compelling bouquet with intense black fruit laced with clove, nutmeg and touches of smoke. This is a Warre’s with great precision and detail. The palate is sheer class: saturated ripe tannin that belie the structure underneath. There is a symmetry about this Vintage Port and a tension that keeps you returning for more. Wow. This is one of the finest Warre’s that I have tasted at declaration. Bravo! Production is 4,250 cases.Neal Martin1st June 2018
