2008 Vintage- Deep-colored, dark red center with just a hint of age showing through on the darkred 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 typicalof Warre’s bottle-matured wines, giving them hallmark balance and elegance, as wellas structure. This wine may be broached now, although it will repay keeping for upto a further decade
