D+ 0h: smells of blackberry and a little bit of raspberry, no deposit (the Churchill's homepage states that this wine is "fined and lightly filtered before bottling").
D +3h: smells of blackberry and a little bit of eucalyptus, the colour is as dark as ink, a strong body, but quite smooth in the mouth + smooth tannins, aftertaste: has a pleasant acidity and is slightly malty, quite a long finish, 89 P.
A very pleasant wine which, in my opinion, is much better than other Douro Reservas in it's price range (for example Niepoort's Fabelhaft/Fabuloso Reserva).
