Black pepper, sealing wax, spices, and toast are found in the nose of the potentially exceptional 2003 Warre Vintage Port. A concentrated, backward effort, its youthful, classically ungenerous, masculine character reveals black pepper laced dark fruits. Silky-textured in its immensely endowed mid-palate, this top-flight effort displays an admirably long, tannin-filled finish. It will require serious cellaring. Projected maturity: 2030-2050. PIERRE ROVANI, The Wine Advocate
Deep garnet. Rich and spicy, ripe and floral. Roses, local esteva (gum rockrose), flowering from the glass along with black fruits. Sweet, ripe and generous. Choclolate and coffee on the palate. Smoothed but still grainy tannins. Warm, full and richer than I expected for the Warre's usually lighter style. Gentle rather than light. JancisRobinson.com
