Our Expert's Recommendation
"If you have odd bottles of this wine in your cellar, you may find that there can be a slight variation between each bottle depending largely on where they have been stored. This wine is unlikely to benefit from further ageing."
Press Comments
“And just last year, finding a bottle of Warre's 1945 that I feared might have peaked, I opened it on Christmas Eve. Although the color had drifted to golden bronze, the wine was laden with honeyed flowers dusted with cinnamon and nuts. I probably could have waited another decade before uncorking it”.
“Immense prunes and spice on the nose and so rich, plummy, thick and luscious, with a simply beautiful prune nose. True rock-solid richness”.
"Showing marvellously well…beautiful colour, lively, lovely gradation; very forthcoming, indeed, fairly forceful nose, brandy evident; a powerful wine with cockle-warming alcohol, crisp, lovely texture and elegance – for me the hallmark of Warre. Absolutely glorious; perfection…Full marks…A splendid life ahead."
“I gave it to the Warre . . . Why Warre this time? It began with a real prunes and spice bouquet, immensely rich and plummy. Thick textured, luscious, more opulent than any other bottle on the table, it would be difficult to find such true, rock solid richness other than in this vintage. And for a beautiful, glorious prune finish, nothing can beat it”.
"This is like a delicious fresh bowl of fruit. Medium red-ruby with a garnet rim, a nose of cranberries and cherries, full-bodied, with sweet cranberry flavors and a lovely balance of round tannins. A wonderful glass of Port."
