Warre’s Vintage Port 2003 is an exceptional and nuanced expression that exhibits the profound qualities of this notable vintage. Pouring into the glass with a deep and regal ruby-red color, the wine immediately captivates the eye. The nose is an intricate bouquet of dark fruits, with blackberries and plums taking the lead, complemented by subtle notes of violets and a touch of exotic spice, creating an olfactory symphony that is both vibrant and complex.
On the palate, this Vintage Port unfurls a rich tapestry of flavors. Ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and cassis, dance in harmony with layers of dark chocolate, leather, and a hint of black pepper. The wine’s velvety texture envelops the palate, showcasing a seamless integration of robust tannins and opulent fruitiness.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 93:
Wine & Spirits Review – Rated 93:
Beautifully perfumed with brilliant florals, spicy scents of esteva and cinnamon bark, this is a great young vintage Warre’s. It’s luscious and chocolate-rich in the middle, then classically gripping in the end. The spiciness lasts, as does the potent depth of fruit, buffering the heat of the wine. This should be accessible early on, yet it has the structure to last years.
Wine Enthusiast Review – Rated 90:
A fine, perfumed wine with great fruit. It’s ripe, with lovely rich flavors and a backbone of firm tannins. This is a good, solid, classic wine. Imported by Vineyard Brands.
