The Story
Warre's Vintage Port 2016 is an elegant and age-worthy Portuguese Vintage Port with expressive aromas of blackberries, violets, rockrose, and spice. Concentrated dark fruit, fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional balance lead to a long, refined finish with outstanding cellaring potential.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with blue cheese, Stilton, dark chocolate desserts, walnuts, dried figs, and mature hard cheeses.
98 Points - Wine Spectator
Gorgeous, with warm plum reduction and gently steeped raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors forming the core, all inlaid with warm ganache and smoldering tobacco accents. Very plush in feel, but has no lack of energy, as everything sails beautifully through the long finish. A late echo of anise completes the seduction. Best from 2035 through 2055.
96 Points - James Suckling
Very complex with dried flowers and roses. Full-bodied, very layered and tightly wound. Chewy and powerful. Firm and off-dry. Needs five or six years to soften. Beauty. Try in 2024.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This is a juicy wine, with dense black fruits that are cut by bright acidity. The tannins give power and long-term aging potential to this impressive wine. Drink from 2028.
