  Still has a ruby core and was redder than the Taylors 55 I was drinking alongside it. 9 years later and I agree with RONNIEROOTS note from 2012. This is elegance personified and a great Warre that is still drinking marvelously well. I don't see this fading anytime soon. What a pleasure.

  Below the neck and we were worried that it would be over. Decanted and drunk immediately, this was a surprising delight. Very tawny and pale but still alive and went very well with the cheese. I had a reserve bottle of something else on standby but absolutely no need. In decline but still a joy to have some thing this old still approachable.

  3rd wine of the second flight. Very deep in color and depth. Good nose and minimal burn.

  At D+0: Very light, nutty colour. Wonderfully elegant, with a deceiving lightness, but oh so complex. Dried citrus, nutty (notably almonds), raisin, but also hints of fig and strawberry. Long, delicious finish. At D+3: Gained some weight, but more in flavour than body. Benchmark Warre elegance, showing a bit more strawberry and even some cherry notes than at D+0, but otherwise very similar. Fully mature, but I don't see it going down anytime soon. Loved and thoroughly enjoyed by all at the table.

  Moving some wine, found that the bottle was leaking so out it came for Christmas day. Opened the bottle by taking out the cork instead of taking the neck off. This was a Newcastle breweries bottled "Warne" as mentioned in M. Broadbent's book. Excellent bottle of port. Vanilla carmel flavors come through. If I had another bottle, would consider drinking sooner than later.
