1989 Warre's Colheita

I had a small pour of this after lunch last Saturday at St. Jacques in Raleigh. I can't find my notes on it but it was really nice. Amber color. Plums and prunes and nuts--maybe some caramel. I skipped dessert after a salad and quiche but it might have been nice with the creme brulee or the trio of "classiques" which included profiterole.
It was warming without giving off real heat.

Always nice to see a port note, especially Warres. Best port last year for me was the `94 LBV.

Aged port is delightful but don't you think it would have been too heavy/strong for the creme brulee?

(Not that it really matters when both are delicious)

Not sure until I try it Rahsaan but I think it would have been fine with creme brulee.

'89 was not a particularly rich year, so it might do very well with a dessert that is not so dense and/or chocolatey/nutty.
