1981 Warre LBV

Post by benread »

Drunk 7th November 2017. Utterly fabulous. I’d say this is my sweet spot for maturity. Still plenty of body and fruit but elegantly so. Just becoming possible to see through a glass.

I’d speculate that on 10 years time AHB might find this to his style.

I think perhaps a Warre LBV vertical might be a good tasting theme. Anyone interested?

That would be great fun. I'm in. Have no Warre LBV that I know of though...

Really like this idea but again don't have 'old' LBV thus would need to adopt

I used the one old Warre LBV (‘74 which was fabulous) at a previous tasting, so the oldest I could offer would be the 2003 [which was only last years offering]. From a very small amount of experience with these lovely ports, it would be a great tasting that I would love to go to, but would probably need to adopt too.
