1982 Churchill
Opened at 07.30, decanted at 14.00 and tasted at 20.15. Mature brick-red colour, 70% opaque. A lovely and fragrant fruit nose, full of raspberry sherbet - very fulsome. Mid-weight with a spicy menthol acidity. Red liquorice on the palate with some tannins still holding the wine together. A lively and intense acidity carrying gentle red liquorice and redcurrant jelly. Sweet, balanced and lingering red jelly baby finish. Very, very nice. 91/100. Tasted 17-Jan-2023.
