2011 Warre's, Vintage Port

Vintage: 2011

Region: Porto

% Alcohol: 20.00

This could be the greatest vintage this century and only 3,000 cases were made. The perfect gift for anyone’s cellar, to enjoy from 2030 onwards. 5 stars RichardMayson.com - “Mostly from Cavadinha and Retiro in the Pinhão valley and Rio Torto, 40% old mixed vines: closed, dense with plenty of floral fruit underneath; ripe, pure cherry-stone fruit, sweet and gentle, very beautiful at this stage, firm but ripe tannic core extending all the way through to the finish. Stunningly good.”

eRobertParker.com June, 2013 The Warre’s Vintage was picked beginning on September 18 at Quinta da Cavindha, with fruit also sourced from Quinta do Retiro and Quinta da Telhada. It is a blend of 37% Touriga Nacional, 23% Tinta Franca and 40% mixture of old vines. There is a lovely sea spray note on the 2011 Warre’s that emerges after ten minutes in the glass. It is nicely defined with a tangible mineral component. The palate is very well-balanced with fine tannins, very well-judged acidity and a languorous feel, as if everything is in place and it does not want to show off. This is a lovely, refined 2011 – one of the most elegant 2011s. This is a classic Warre’s. 3,000 cases declared. Tasted May 2013.
