Warre’s Vintage Port 1994 is a majestic expression of the renowned house’s craftsmanship, bearing the deep, regal hues of a profound ruby color. The nose unfolds an intricate tapestry of aromas, featuring an opulent array of dark fruits.

On the palate, this Vintage Port delivers a symphony of complex flavors. Ripe black fruits take center stage, accompanied by nuances of dark chocolate, cedar, and a whisper of black pepper.

Critic Ratings
Wine Spectator Review – Rated 95:
A great surprise for the vintage. Displays fabulous concentration and complex character with it’s layers of very sweet fruit, chocolate and cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins. Long finish with plenty of grip. Beautiful wine. Best after 2008. 13,000 cases made.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – Rated 94:
One of the finest Warres I have ever tasted, this opaque purple-colored wine is made in a drier style (a la Dow), yet it is expressive, extremely full-bodied, with superb richness, purity, and well-integrated alcohol and tannin. It possesses a great mid-palate as well as impressive length. Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+. This is a profound example of Warre vintage port.
