Deep and glowing dark crimson. Just starting to close up apparently. Amazingly opulent and very glamorous. Spicy. Very impressive though Johnny Graham says it’s usually even more exuberant. (JR)

Good bright, deep ruby. Highly nuanced nose combines blueberry, blackberry, violet, spices and graphite minerality complemented by hints of molasses, tobacco and white pepper. Firmly built, minerally and classic; not a particularly sweet or opulent style but supple, seamless and understated. Finishes with a firm tannic structure and terrific focus and length. Lovely finesse and clarity here--and built for a leisurely evolution in bottle.

The Churchill’s 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 Churchill’s 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.

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2030-2055, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2013

Very scented and refined. Treacle and liquorice the top notes and real rigour. Absolutely classic 'Brit style' vintage port. Sort of the Léoville Barton of the Douro? Not the most generous arguably but very straight backed. Dry and almost austere. (JR)
