Accolades :
“Made in the drier, robust, spicy house style, this is a characterful 10-year-old, with peppery, liquorice-laced, dried plum, roast hezelnuts, salted caramel praline and pan-singed marmalade. The long, involving finish is clean and dry.”
– 94 Points, Decanter Magazine
Tawny port is an art of blending. We work with time, wood, and experience to find a balance between the concentration of age and the freshness of youth.
In Appearance : A rich brick red with flashes of amber.
On the Nose : Elegant and subtle, complex with expressive notes of dried fruits combined with hints of orange peel.
On the Palate : Full on the mouth, showing an excellent vinosity and freshness, allowing it to finish long and persistent.
Winemaker Notes : Like all other Churchill’s Ports, the component wines of this Late Bottled Vintage blend have been vinified in traditional granite lagares (treading tanks). After fermentation, the wine goes through an ageing period in seasoned oak casks for an average of 10 years. The wines are then blended to house style before bottling.
Serving : Best enjoyed within 2 years of bottling. Serve chilled (10º-12ºC).
