The surprise of the night for me. Mature red but with no bricking; 60% opaque. Lovely youthful nose with jellied red fruit. A nice balanced entry with great fruit offset by modest but adequate acidity and lovely tannins. The aftertaste is dry, fruity and warm. This could be the best showing of a Churchill port that I have had in a long time. 91/100.
Tasted at the Berry Brothers Port Walk on 26 November 2015.

Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Ch91. Good fruit, but too rough for the price (£39).
