Warre's Vintage Porto Port Blend 1997
Dark in profile, with warm buckwheat, singed juniper and espresso notes leading off, backed by warm black currant and fig compote flavors. Has heft, but the brambly undertow is easily absorbed through the finish. Approachable, but there's no rush at all... Best from 2019 through 2035. Wine Spectator

Super approachable. Will be fascinating to see how Port evolves in these new better viti years combined with great weather. Creamy texture & supple tannins at only 17 years old...and oodles of still rather youthful fruit? Wow.

Still youthful purple color, sweet fruit forward, nice integration of the spirit, long, sweet fruit finish, needs 15-20 years aging, at least, really quite fine and quite well done!!
