Warre’s, 2017 Vintage Port
The 2017 vintage is considered one of the outstanding declarations of the 21st century. A dry winter followed by a very hot summer in the Douro led to an early harvest and exceptionally small, concentrated berries. Despite the heat, the best vineyards retained remarkable freshness, producing powerful yet beautifully balanced Vintage Ports.
Warre’s 2017 Vintage Port reflects the house’s hallmark elegance while showcasing the intensity of this remarkable year. The nose is expressive and refined, with aromas of blackberry, cassis and dark cherry layered with notes of violets, dark chocolate and subtle spice. On the palate it is rich and structured, with dense black fruit supported by firm, ripe tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives the wine precision and length.
Still very youthful, this is a Vintage Port built for long ageing and will continue to evolve for many decades. Those who choose to enjoy it young should decant several hours before serving to allow the wine to open fully. A superb choice for celebrating a 2017 anniversary, and an excellent partner to blue cheeses, rich chocolate desserts or simply enjoyed slowly at the end of a special meal.
