Tasting note: Very deep, hard, tea-leaf in 1979. Over twenty notes since showing a slow but gradual development. Fragrant, tea-like bouquet evolving; rich spicy, lovely by the end of the 1980s. Consistently good through the 1990s including a well nigh perfect bottle at a Symington tasting in 1994: typical Warre elegance, lissome and lovely.
