This house makes rather restrained yet rich, flavorful vintage port and a very good tawny called Nimrod. Their vintage ports seem slow to develop … they have a unique mineral-scented character that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1985 is the sweetest and richest of the recent Warre vintages. Extremely concentrated, rich, even luscious, this full-bodied, intense, opulent wine has layers of fruit, a full-blown bouquet, and impeccable balance. (RP)

Bright crimson. Mild and malty on the nose. Veil of brightness, with some vegy, leathery tannins still in evidence. Peppery end. 17/20 points. Drink 2015-2040. (JR)
