1945 Warre Vintage Port
Posted: 20:45 Mon 08 Feb 2010
This Warre Vintage Port behaved in exactly the same way like a Grahams 48 I had 3 years ago.
Directely after opening I thought it to be slightly odd and flat, but remembered the Grahams experience right from the start.
Strawish colour with decent structure. Some acidic smell was all I could get at the start. After about 1,5 hrs. this port started to remember what he was before, showing some honey, malt and toffee notes in bouquet and palate. After a short while the odd smell totally disappeared and the oustanding toffee, caramel and honey flavours remained with an outstanding length. Lucky us that we did not had too much of it in the odd phase. Tasted Feb. 5th. Excellent. 19
