Portugal

Typically for Warre, this is a big, powerful wine, packed with lots of deep concentrated fruit, wrapped in a rich, rounded tannic structure. Ready to drink now but will keep.

Colheitas are single vintage Tawny Ports aged in cask for many years and the Krohn Colheita 1982 has has 35 years cask aging. Because of this long, slow, oxidative aging, the Port develops a rich and intense toffee, nutty, molasses character.

A unique mineral-scented character that is typical to Warre's that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1983 is richly perfumed and fragrant, a fine example of the ports from this vintage.

Full in colour with a richness and big depth of fruit. The tannins are softening, to be sure, but there is still lots of body and power that will allow it to improve for many years.

A fabulous year for vintage Ports and Graham 1983 is a perfect example of this quality. Rich and powerful showing all of Grahams. Drink over the next 10-12 years.

Robert Parker describes this Graham's port as "the undisputed star and kingpin of the 1985 vintage ports" he goes on to say that it is "a fabulous wine because of a dazzling level of black-cherry fruit, an enormous structure, and staggering depth, dimension, and length." This is indeed an exceptional vintage and it is drinking incredibly well now.

"Full bodied. Powerful. Still opaque; soft, sweet fleshy. Well endowed with fruit, alcohol and tannin for longevity. Magnificent. Drink 1998-2030. Potentially outstanding."

Rich, penetrating aromas of currant, fig and violet melt into the full bodied palate, which still has a firm structure despite its age. Rich and beautifully balanced, this port is a delight to drink now but still also has a long life ahead of it.
