1977 Warre
Posted: 16:19 Mon 18 Mar 2019
Taken in my luggage to France to share with a friend and opened after standing and settling for a week.
A very light color on initial decanting, more tawny than pink. Nice nose, but a rather thin flavour of dried fruits, coffee and nuts. I did wonder if it was slightly oxidised although the bottle had a good level and no obvious signs of major seepage.
After 6 hours in the decanter it had put on some deeper color and filled out somewhat, but I was still a little disappointed at the lack of complexity. I'm a big fan of the 77s usually and this was the first time I'd had the Warre so I don't know if this was a typical bottle or not. 87 points.
