Warre's 2009 - Vintage
Warre's Vintage 2009
This Port was a standout in its “blind flight” and unquestionably deserved a full on declaration, regardless of the history behind it. Riveting from the first fresh whiff, with a bouquet of rose petals, lavender and kirsch, accented by an herbal essence and pine. Whoa, this got my attention! The palate is equally compelling: full, concentrated, luxurious and harmonious with gobs of glycerin, yet it remains vinous and fabulously intense. Rich and with a mink-like mouth feel, from the deft balance to the enduring finish, this is class in a glass. Bottled to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the “Liberation of Porto” back in 1809 (story to follow). To put the 2009 Warre’s in perspective, there only 6,000 bottles produced, whereas the 2007 Warre’s contained 6,500 cases (12 x 750 ml). A charismatic and seriously fine bottle of Vintage Port with upside cellaring potential for a minimum of four decades.

“…very worthy Warre’s, characteristically floral, sweet, and seductive on the nose…”.
Neil Beckett, The World of Fine Wine, 01-06-2011

Warre's 2007 - Vintage
An evocative mélange of sweetscented wild flowers, Rainier cherry, cocoa and cool eucalyptus pack a punch to the nose. A tale of two Ports: one side is soft and exudes feminine stylishness and immediate approachability, while the other is endowed with power and massively concentrated fruit. Rich and chewy, showcasing a sweet entry with black cherry, ripe plum and blackcurrant flavors, enhanced by an exemplary level of acidity. The persistent finish is a showstopper while the impressively firm grippy tannins show up in time for the curtain call, allowing this 2007 VP to age effortlessly for three decades minimum, and possibly five. But there’s no reason to wait as it shows lots of charm now, too. 6,500 cases produced (12 x 750s). Simply put, this is the best Warre’s Vintage Port I’ve ever had, at this early stage of its evolution

Warre's 2007 - Vintage
"The first Warre's vintage to be made entirely from its own vineyards. Fine, fragrant, great aromatic purity yet restrained. Rich, full style, even fleshy. Not as big as some but fine and expressive. Lovely grip, with elegance and poise."
Richard Mayson, Decanter Magazine, 01-08-2009

Score: 18 Drink 2020-35
Liquorice and richness on the nose. Lots of spice and sweetness and very complete. Perhaps the wine closest to classic vintage port of all the 42 wines tasted here. Biding its time, all in place. Not at all showy. Dry finish. Great balance and integration.
Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 21-05-2009

Warre's 2007 - Vintage
"Offers lovely perfumed aromas and beautiful raspberry and blackberry character, turning to tar, black truffle and wet earth. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a balance of very chewy tannins and sugary fruit at the finish. This goes on and on. The great 1994 again?"
James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 06-05-2009

Warre's 2007 - Vintage
"Violets and dried flowers overlay the black fruits on the nose. Blackcurrant and bramble underpinned by sloe give a seductive richness and this is emphasised by the dark chocolate and liquorice. The mid palate is dense packed with fruit power. The polished tannins all add to the seductive feel and the elegance of the finish."

A light port good with blue cheese or for sipping on a cold winter's night.

Warre's 1994 - Vintage
"…a ‘typical cistus nose’…the most intensely dark of all the Symington’s ‘94s. Very sweet, lovely flavour, perfect balance, good length… Great future."
Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine, 01-01-2002

Warre's 1985 - Vintage
"This is a perfect example of the incredibly well-balanced and concentrated 1985 Vintage. This wine is packed with fruit on the nose and palate with a tight firm structure."
The Wine Spectator, 01-10-1988

Warre's 1945 - Vintage
"This is like a delicious fresh bowl of fruit. Medium red-ruby with a garnet rim, a nose of cranberries and cherries, full-bodied, with sweet cranberry flavors and a lovely balance of round tannins. A wonderful glass of Port."
James Suckling, Vintage Port, 01-01-1990

Warre's 1927 - Vintage
"I have several notes, all good…like all the top ‘27s, it was lively looking with ruby tinge; gentle, fragrant, classic bouquet of great depth; very sweet, full-bodied."
Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine, 01-01-2002

WINE SPECTATOR’S 1998 TOP 10 DESSERT WINES
"Warre’s makes back-to-back appearances on our top 100, this time with its single quinta Vintage Port. The Quinta da Cavadinha was purchased by the Symington family in 1978, and in years that it is not bottled as a single quinta, it forms the backbone of Warre’s Vintage Port."
James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 31-12-1998

Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha
Situated along a tributary of the Douro, the vineyards ofCavadinha stretch up the hillsides to 440 metres above sea-level. The result is fine, silky, well-balanced wines. The 2006 vintage shows terrific potential with succulent fruit against fine, expressive tannlns. The 1996 is ready now with cherry pie and herbal notes and a sweet soft finish. Find 1996 Quinta da 0 Cavadinha at The Halifax Wine Co, £28.95.

À l'apéro, on peut boire le porto blanc nature et légérement rafraichi, ou on peut opter pour le service "á la portugaise", c'est-á-dire avec des glaçons, accompagné de soda ou de soda tonique. Pour préparer ce cocktail, on mélange une part de porto blanc et une part de soda ou de soda tonique, auxquelles on ajoute du citron frais et des glaçons. On peut aussi y glisser quelques feuilles de menthe.

Warre's - OTIMA 20
Otima 20-year-old Tawny
"Warre’s Otima 20-year-old Tawny ($39.99) is a darker, translucent amber brown. Because Port evaporates at the rate of 3 to 3 1/2 percent per year from the large, neutral, wooden storage vessels in which it ages, as tawny wines grow older the juice becomes more concentrated.”
Michael Brenton, LansingCityPulse.com , 01-06-2011

Aged in seasoned oak casks for two decades, this port features nutty aromas and a long finish.

Warre's - OTIMA 20
"Warre’s Otima 20 Tawny Port. This 20-year-old is elegant in looks and taste. Its almost translucent copper colour and nutty nose is followed by a rich, smooth and delicate taste. Three was a crowd when I opened the bottle because I wanted it all to myself. It was gone in 20 minutes, It’s not bingeing, it’s bliss."
Bernadette Costello, OLN, 04-06-2004

Cheese at Christmas can only mean Stilton – rejoice! It’s the kind of cheese I could roll around in. And it pairs beautifully with a glass of chilled Tawny port. Head to Asda for a bottle of 7. WARRE'S OTIMA 10-YEAR-OLD TAWNY PORT (£9.97) – warming, spicy and with a sweet kick it balances and contrasts sensationally with a nibble of Stilton. Remember to serve it chilled.

Warre's Otima 10
Warre's Otima Tawny Port is the perfect partner to sweet snacks like Eccles cakes with festive flavours and dried fruits. I love this bottle's clean modern presentation, and with oodles of sweet sun-dried raisin flavours and intense warming richness, Tawny port is a fab festive tipple.
Olly Smith , The Mail on Sunday, 19-11-2011

Ideal as an aperitif or a verrsatile dessert tipple, this tawny port has lovely swet fruitiness combined with some spicy complexity. Serve chilled, and it will keep in good condition for weeks after opening. Try it with the chocolate and raspberry cheesecake.

Warre's Otima 10 Year Tawny
“Port generally doesn't evoke warm weather. But a slightly chilled Tawny Port is an exception. So look for the Warre's Otima 10 Year Tawny, which works equally well as an aperitif or an after-dinner treat. The Port is light, nutty, satisfying.
Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday, 02-06-2011

Warre's - OTIMA 10
Otima 10-year-old tawny
“Warre’s Otima 10-year-old tawny ($20.99) represents another step up in price and quality. Amber brown with a pink tinge, it is less viscous than ruby port, displaying typical nutty flavors, along with characteristic dried fruit and caramel. Symington recommends enjoying it slightly chilled so that any alcohol heat is tamed."
Michael Brenton, LansingCityPulse.com , 01-06-2011

91 Warre’s NV Otima 10-Year-Old Tawny Port; $27
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. It has dried apricot flavors and orange marmalade, but there is also dryness from wood aging and good concentration.
Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, 01-02-2009

Warre's - OTIMA 10
The "contemporary" vibe is admirably captured by the clean, elegant clear glass bottle and minimalist labeling, making for an aesthetically pleasing addition to your bar without sacrificing any of the wine's sophistication. On the palate it presents pleasing notes of honey, raisins, nuts and dried fruit. If you've never tried port before we suggest starting here.
Jared Paul Stern, Luxist, 23-07-2008

Warre's - OTIMA 10
"Sweet and rich and well balanced by bright acidity. There is great integration of layers of flavour – marzipan and nuts, dried fruits and raisins, coffee and caramel. Heady stuff."
Wine International, 01-10-2004

Warre's - Generic
"Oldest of British Port shippers (since 1670)…Fine, elegant, long-maturing vintage wines…excellent LBV; 10 Year old Otima has been huge success."

Warre's 1997 - Colheita
Warres Colheita Tawny 1997
Wonderfully rich aromas waft from the glass—dried fruits, honey-toasted nuts and caramelized sugar dominate. Smooth, rich and flavourful, the palate’s reminiscent of spirit-soaked preserved fruit. Notes of spice and appealing warmth persist on a long fruit-filled, raisiny finish. Sample this wonderful Port on its own or with a platter of aged cheese, roasted nuts and fine, dried fruits. Enjoy now or continue to cellar.
