Overall review thread

A fairly stereotypical 1975; very light; lots of heat; not a lot of fruit. Along with the 1991, a glass that I didn't finish.

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.

W75: very pale. Horrible nose, all acid. To taste thin and strongly acidic. Despite the concern in the previous ¶, what was wrong with this port was probably the being a 1975, which is generally a bad idea for a port.
