2016 will be remembered as a year that produced wines of remarkable structure, balance, and elegance, a profile which closely matches Warre’s traditional Vintage Port style. Words such as charm, grace, finesse, and elegance are rarely absent in descriptions and reviews of Warre’s superb Vintage Ports, be they from the 19th, 20th, or 21st centuries.

The Story

Over the centuries Warre's has made memorable wines which have earned for it First Growth status alongside a very small group of other elite producers. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Warre’s produced some of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made such as the 1870, 1887, 1896, the great 1904, the legendary 1908 and several more, all of which played a very significant role in establishing Port as one of the world’s finest wines.More recentl...

Vuosikerta 2016

The 2016 harvest in the Douro brought perfectly-timed rain that turned a good year into a great one. Fortunately, despite a challenging growing season and a much adjusted and delayed picking schedule, those producers with excellent vineyard knowledge and confident decision-making, were rewarded with spectacular Vintage Ports.

Viiniarvio

One of the famous names of the region, though one which sometimes seems to sit a notch behind the superstars. Not so here. Warre’s is one of the more elegant VPs from the Symington stable and this vintage suits it to a tee. Glorious. The team from Symington’s have dubbed it, ‘the girl from Ipanema’ and who am I to argue?

The slightly higher elevation of the Warre’s vineyard leans towards wines of purity and elegance. This example also exhibits exquisite balance and length. Wonderfully fragrant and moves through to such finely crafted tannins. Dark berries, mulberries, plums and tobacco leaf notes. This might not offer the power of some big names, but power isn’t everything (and it has more than enough, anyway). If forced to drink a VP from 2016 today, I'd probably pick this one, but do not allow such easy charms to flatter and delude. This is a VP which will age brilliantly over several decades. I've always loved the 1977 Warre’s, even if it is not always ranked among the very best of that year, but for me, this is the greatest Warre’s I have ever seen, perhaps the finest they have ever made. 4,250 cases. 98.

Deep purple colour with violet hue and black core. Opulent nose with wild strawberries, plums and black cherries. On the palate well-balanced with ripe tannins, juicy fruit, slightly jammy character yet fresh and elegant. Great depth and length.

A solid, textbook version, this has flesh and weight, with vivid blueberry, plum and blackberry compote flavors carried by lightly brambly grip through the licorice-fueled finish.

-
  • 96p

Gorgeous, with warm plum reduction and gently steeped raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors forming the core, all inlaid with warm ganache and smoldering tobacco accents. Very plush in feel, but has no lack of energy, as everything sails beautifully through the long finish. A late echo of anise completes the seduction. Best from 2035 through 2055.

Very complex with dried flowers and roses. Full-bodied, very layered and tightly wound. Chewy and powerful. Firm and off-dry. Needs five or six years to soften. Beauty. Try in 2024.

he 2016 Warre’s Vintage Port was picked from 19 September, the harvest took 10 days longer than usual in order to gain optimal ripeness. It has a tightly-wound but compelling bouquet with intense black fruit laced with clove, nutmeg and touches of smoke. This is a Warre’s with great precision and detail. The palate is sheer class: saturated ripe tannin that belie the structure underneath. There is a symmetry about this Vintage Port and a tension that keeps you returning for more. Wow. This is one of the finest Warre’s that I have tasted at declaration. Bravo! Production is 4,250 cases.
