1985 Churchill
Posted: 16:42 Sat 28 Aug 2010
Ch85, at D+3hr. Purple, 90% opaque. Very dark. DRT thinks very dark red rather than purple: I can live with that. Nose of black plum. To taste rich thick mouthfeel, again black plum, very sweet, with some heat on the tongue late-palate. DRT thinks not anywhere near ready: luckily I have two bottles left from the case. DRT says that it is the second-best 1985 he has tasted, after Fonseca. Or maybe Graham is also better?
The fruit is very dark. There is plum, but also something else we had trouble indentified.
