1987 Churchill Agua Alta

Post by nac »

Part of Churchill vertical tasting @ B&F, Tuesday 1st March 2022.

One of six different bottles supplied for the tasting by the Churchill Grahams. Many thanks to Johnny & Jamie.

Bottle looked in perfect condition, but only arrived the morning before the tasting so wasn't able to settle before being decanted (approx 24 hours before tasting).

Very fruity. Some tannic grip not not a lot. Quite simple but enjoyable. Good

Very dark. Very clean. Really attractive spicy nose. Rich fruit. Very likeable.
