Warre's Vintage Port 2000 750ml

The 2000 Vintage is one of the finest of the last thirty years. Following a very dry winter and a late flowering, it was clear that we would have a small harvest. But the small concentrated berries produced outstanding wines. We had a very small crop at both Cavadinha and Retiro with the lowest yields in living memory. The old mixed plantings (vines aged between 50 and 55 years) produced an average of just 420g per vine. Warre’s 2000 Vintage has a dark ruby colour. On the nose, excellent floral aromas of violets and mint combine with layer upon layer of ripe blackberry fruit. On the palate great freshness and the archetypal Warre elegance with vibrant fruit flavors and velvety tannins lead to a long and persistent finish. Approachable now although three to four years from its prime, after which it will age superbly for decades.
