Warres Vintage 1963 Port

€ 260.00

Bottled in 1965 but producer kept the wine until 2011 before releasing it to the market. Limited edition. Power, dimension and real character are all hallmarks of this most memorable vintage. Even after nearly 55 years the best wines never fail to impress with their essential three components of fruit, tannin and elegance; the latter admittedly a little less scientific, but always present. The great 63s almost always appear to be younger than they really are.

"Extremely impressive, with beautifully balanced, harmonious sweet fruit on the palate. Medium ruby-red, ripe cherry and cassis aromas, medium-bodied, with rich, velvety fruit flavors, full, soft tannins and a powerful finish". James Suckling , Wine Spectator (1989)
