Description

Vintage Churchill is the fruit of 50-year-old vines from Quinta da Grincha on the south bank of the Douro. Johnny Graham describes it as ‘classic’, its foot-trodden fruit certainly achieving a rare intensity and elegance. The nose marries soft crème cassis aromas with more profound notes of bay leaf, forest floor and macerated prune. The palate is fresh yet beautifully concentrated, with textbook sweetness, balancing freshness and enveloping ripe tannins. This is as eloquent and serious as anything with the name Churchill should be.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 92-94/100
The Churchills Vintage Port has a comparatively light, aniseed-tinged bouquet with orange blossom that wafts seductively from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins and very well-judged acidity that lends this young Churchills great precision. This is a very harmonious Vintage Port with a lovely touch of salted licorice towards the finish. Beautiful. 3,000 cases declared. Tasted May 2013.Neil Martin - 28/06/2013
