Wine Tasting - Warre's Warrior Finest Reserve Porto




Name: Warre’s Warrior: Finest Reserve Porto

Variety: Port

Region: Pinhão and Rio Torto valleys

Country:  Portugal

Vintage: NA (Blend)

Price: 18$

 

Winery Review: “A fruity style, with luscious plum, raspberry and cherry flavors that are deep and rich. Asian spice and dark chocolate notes linger on the fresh, minerally finish. Drink now through 2025. 11,500 cases imported.” – Wine Spectator

 

Wine Folly: Primary flavors include “plum, dried cherry, chocolate, cinnamon, and raisin”.

I could taste the plum and dried cherry, and the eat at the end was reminiscent of cinnamon.

 

My Review: Wow. This was a powerful wine with a lot going on. It smell like vanilla, raspberry, and hot cinnamon.  It tasted very jammy and sweet, and reminded me of raspberry. The finish was extremely hot and reminded me that this wine was 20% alcohol. It was bit oakey. Overall, although it wine wasn’t awful, but it was too powerful for me to enjoy. Hopefully, it was smooth out after a week.
