2009 Churchill Gricha

Post by winesecretary »

Sample decanted two months ago and stored under argon.

A full rich red right to the rim.

Fairly full-bodied young-port nose, can still sense the TN content.

Rich and smooth in the mouth. Cool but lush red fruits. Where are the tannins? They don't make an appearance at all, really. There's a faint prickle of spice after half a minute or so.

This is terribly attractive. Am not sure it will make old bones. But deeply pleasurable now.

Consumed 28/4/21.
