This was one of the lightest ’07s I’ve drunk so far. I didn’t notice much in the way of tannins nor a great deal of acidity, which I think is being suggested as another way in which this Vintage will survive in the longer term. Slightly floral on the nose, in a rather uncomplex way, this wine didn’t grab me. But then I don’t really know anything about very young vintage port nor how it will mature...
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.
W07: really surprisingly red. Quite light. Long grass? Flowers, red berries. Very fresh.
