NV Churchill Tawny 20YO (bottled 2019)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2019. Copper-red colour, quite pale at around 40% opaque. Roasted almonds and red toffee on the nose. Nicely balanced palate, a little beeswax and a touch of tannin providing a little grip. Nutty flavours, a little cinnamon drops on the palate; sweet but well balanced. Cinnamon drops on the aftertaste, which fills the tastebuds well; slowly fading cinnamon drops finish, ending with a little red toffee and clove. Balanced, uncomplicated and straightforward. 87/100. 22-Jan-22. Decanted 2 days.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

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