Warre's Warrior Finest Reserve Port, Portugal

The Warrior has a rich perfume of ripe plum, cherry, cedar and berry. The similar flavors are layered and complex in a very nice style, with good structure, and the finish is moderately sweet. It has the style and grip of vintage Port at an attractive price.

Warre’s is one of Portugal’s most famous port houses. They make a range of ports, from this reserve, to tawny, ruby, and white ports. This is their lower priced effort but shows very nicely. The house’s origins began in 1670 when a company trading in wine, oil, fruit, fresh produce, and wool was established by two Englishmen, Burgoyne and Jackson. William Warre arrived in 1729 and became a partner in the business, which by that time was named Clark, Thorton and Warre.
