From Berry Bros & Rudd website:
Rich and highly concentrated, it has evolved into to open into a superb Port. Fragrant cassis and prunes nose, fleshy texture, loaded with ripe berry flavours, mellow tannins and a lush fruity finish. Powerful, yet impressively balanced. The 1977s have reached the middle stage of what will prove to be a long and distinguished life. Hugely enjoyable now and it will only get better.
The Wine Doctor's notes:
The 1977 Warre's Vintage Port has a lovely vibrancy, an amazingly youthful red hue, only showing its age with the suggestion that it is fading to a red translucency rather than any deepening or browning of the colour. The nose is vibrant and fresh, showing smoky fruits with a gritty, crunchy edge, and early on some smoky, smouldering elements. Later it shows a brighter character, with tinges of raspberry, smoke, bay leaf and black liquorice. There are also little touches of raisin, but this is faint and not suggestive of over-ripeness, with mature leather and clove tones. Eventually this multilayered and complex wine settles into a very direct, energy-filled perfume which lasts through to the last drop. The palate has a sweet and rounded entry, remaining full and softly textured into the middle, with increasing spice and pepper through the midpalate, and there is still a firm seam of acid and alcohol backbone through the middle. But that texture is still very sufficient and it runs right through to the finish, where there is a real sense of vigour, backed up by a spirity backbone of alcohol. With more exposure to the air this does become somewhat more prominent, although it remains charged and invigorating rather than hot.
