There was something wrong with this tasting. Most of the vintages had a dry sourness not usually seen in Warre. I suspect dirty decanters, though other causes are possible. Hence these TNs should not be interpreted as typical of the performance of Warre.

W47: to the eye quite orange, though still plenty of colour. Nose of heat, and some tawnyness. To taste lots of oranges, then sourness from mid- to late-palate. Delicate, with milk chocolate.

Later: ‟better, but still dominated by dry acidity”.
