2017 Vintage Port

Vininformation

96 point - Vinbladet: "Mørk og varm, men frisk hyldebærfrugtnæse med figen- og blommetoner. Lakridset og intenst krydret. Aromatisk detaljerig næse med diskrete medicintoner. Klassisk rank engelsk stil med flot ren og frisk mundfrugt, der på samme tid er kølig, sødmefuld, tæt og intens. Velafbalanceret på alle måder og med flotte fuldmodne solidt strukturgivende tanniner. Ambitiøs, kultiveret, vellavet og delikat og med et forventeligt langt og lovende liv."

96 point - Wine Spectator; "Ripe, juicy and focused, this features a core of steeped fig, boysenberry and blueberry fruit, well-harnessed by a sleek, graphite-edged structure and infused liberally with anise, fruitcake and Christmas pudding notes. Vivid and racy in feel through the finish. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Francisca and Tinta Cão. Best from 2035 through 2055."

93-95 point - Robert Parker: "(It) is a field blend coming in at 108 grams of residual sugar. It was aged for two years in used vats. On opening, this immediately shows depth and pop on the finish... Some air brings out a little more power and a lusher feel... This is admirable for its greater firmness and length. It, too, will be approachable young, but it will be more likely to benefit from some cellaring."

"There is a raw vibrancy to Churchill’s 2017 Vintage Ports, combining a purity of fruit with a vein of natural acidity, which will give these wines great ageing potential", siger Johnny Graham. Rygraden i Churchill's Vintage Port er altid druer fra de ældste vinstokke i Quinta da Gricha.
