  • 1980 Warre Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/16/2021)
    Decanted four hours before service. A nice brick red color that looks healthy. Medium sweet with some alcohol heat, but there’s a lot of nice red fruit. It’s sort of a spicy Jolly Rancher. At 41 years, it’s drinking really well. This wine will definitely make it to 50 years with no trouble. (90 pts.)

Nice. I’ve had this several times. Good bottles always seem like not a great Vintage Port, but a nice one that’s been drinking well for quite a few years at this point. I used to be able to find it for surprisingly little money. I don’t know how much cheap, mature Vintage Port is still out there from these lesser years.
