Warre's

90 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The Warre's Otima 20 Year-Old Tawny Port has aromas of almonds, layers of acidity and sweetness, the flavor of bitter oranges, and a round, ripe aftertaste.

This wine has a very deep, almost opaque purple core, with a rich garnet rim. Earthy and racy on the nose showing a rich plumy and peppery character; balanced and quite youthful on the palate.

91 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '00 Warre's Vintage Porto has lovely floral aromas of berries, violets and minerals; full-bodied, with firm tannins and a racy finish; a harmonious yet well-toned Warre's.

The Warre's White Port is a fine, easy and light dessert wine; great with a slight chill; does well as an aperitif, too.

91 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The Warre's Otima is an aged tawny that manages effortlessly to combine the freshness of a 10-year-old with the dry, cask-aged flavors of an older tawny; good concentration.

93 PTS WINE & SPIRITS. Emphasizing freshess, based on the earlier maturing Touriga Francesa (grape), the '97 Warre's Vintage Porto (offers) refined balance; the wine is pretty, seamless, and bright.

90-94 Pts Wine Spectator "Big & bold yet still refined. Loads of blackberry & stemmy aromas & flavors. Full-bodied & very sweet, with substantial ripe tannins & a fruity, tannic finish."

A classic full-bodied wine with wonderful richness and balance. Delicious served at the end of a meal, with chocolate, chocolate desserts, as well as strong cheeses and nuts.

84 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The non-vintage Warres Ruby Port is rich and concentrated, with mature leathery-smoky character blending appealingly with a deft touch of vivid, youthful plum and spice.
