Broadbent (*****): "...süß, ziemlich körperreich, füllig, elegant, sehr schön ausgewogen." The Wine Spectator There is plenty of grip and backbone here. Deep purple, with concentrated grape and violet aromas, full-bodied, with huge grapy flavors, excellent backbone and a long finish. Score: 91.
The Wine Advocate This house makes rather restrained yet rich, flavorful vintage port and a very good tawny called Nimrod. Their vintage ports seem slow to develop, and while they never quite have the voluptuous richness of a Dow, Graham, or Fonseca, they have a unique mineral-scented character that gives them their own complexity and style. The 1985 is the sweetest and richest of the recent Warre vintages. Extremely concentrated, rich, even luscious, this full-bodied, intense, opulent wine has layers of fruit, a full-blown bouquet, and impeccable balance. The soft tannins and precocious appeal of the 1985 suggest rapid maturation. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, 1989. "Another Vintage Port which was badly in need of revisiting by this
taster. It was a beautiful baby and I bought and drank lots of it when
it was about 8-12 years old. This bottle was purchased in April of 1996
for $25. Those were the good old days. It showed a dark cranberry color
with a lighter pink edge. My daughter decanted this bottle and she
said, “raspberries” while pouring it through cheesecloth (always her
first guess) . Not bad for 5, although to me it was much brighter with
strawberry scents and an exotic side with espresso bean and dark
chocolate, absolutely lovely aromatics! I poured this “blind” for my
tasting group which was split down the middle between loving it and
those who found it too hot. There was a slight sense of alcohol here
but very minor and unobtrusive. The medium-bodied Warre’s delivered a
mélange of cherry and strawberry to my pleasure zone and I was really
happy how well this was showing. The tannins were quite soft and I am
not sure that this is going to get much better, but should be
interesting as it develops more secondary nuances, as it is still quite
primary. Even though it is a bit light, the taste is so delicious that
I’d pop these now and for the next decade, but no reason to save these
for the long haul, except for curiosity sake. (Note: subsequently … I
had a much better bottle while visiting the Symington’s. Although this
bottle was solid, it was not as great as the one in Portugal!) 92 points" - Roy Hersh 4/2009 s.a. "winedoctor"
