Warre's

Bottle Aged Late Bottled Vintage Porto 1981

Michael Phillips

9.0

LBVs usually aged in wood for many years but this one aged in bottle from 1985 until now. Lots of sediment and the wine is relatively light in color and body but still quite good. Brown at the edge but still sweet and fruity — a month ago
