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.

W70: Full-hue glorious red. Red fruit, but small nose. To taste a lovely soft entry, then acidic. Similar texture to the W66, but better balanced and smaller.
