Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor

In the glass the Warre’s 1983 has a maturing hue, but still has plenty of dark pigment to it; it is certainly not a pale or ancient wine. The nose is delightful, as all the sweetness of young Port (which is pleasurable enough) has gone to leave a more perfumed and savoury complexity, with spicy notes of black liquorice nuanced with lifted scents of orange zest, tar and rose petals. The palate remains textured, although gently, the wine still showing a soft fruit substance but overall it feels much drier now. This perhaps allows the grip of the midpalate to show through, giving the wine a rather solid style. Even so, it feels nicely polished, integrated, although to be fair there is a slightly raw undercurrent to it. Overall, a very good wine, which held up well over a couple of nights. 17.5/20
