Description:
Southwest Spirits is proud to present a true masterpiece of the Douro: the 1966 Warre's Vintage Port. While the 1963 vintage often gets the spotlight, connoisseurs know that 1966 was a "fantastic" year for Port, producing wines with incredible structure and concentration.
Why this bottle is a standout port:
Perfect Maturity: After 60 years in the bottle, this Port has reached its absolute peak. It has moved from youthful fruit into a complex "autumnal" profile.
House Style: Warre’s is famous for an elegant, floral, and "feminine" style. The 1966 expression is noted for its intense mineral-scented character and deep, vibrant ruby-to-amber hue.
Critic Scores: Rated 93 Points by Wine-Searcher and 18.5/20 by Jancis Robinson.
Tasting Notes (Mature Profile):
Nose: Wonderful evolved aromas of dried figs, orange peel, walnuts, and subtle spices like cinnamon and clove.
Palate: Smooth and mellow with a refined sweetness and silky texture. Expect a persistent, layered finish with notes of roasted nuts and aged wood.
Condition & Serving: The bottle is in excellent vintage condition with an intact seal. As with all fine vintage Ports of this age, significant sediment will have formed; we recommend standing the bottle upright for 24 hours and decanting gently before serving.
