Deep-colored, dark red center with just a hint of age showing through on the dark red rim. The backbone provided by the large Touriga Nacional component is evident in the fragrant, floral nose of roses and violets. The palate is generous and sumptuous with black fruit and licorice flavors, balanced by schist tannins and the fresh acidity typical of Warre’s bottle-matured wines, giving them hallmark balance and elegance, as well as structure. This wine may be broached now, although it will repay keeping for up to a further decade.
