2014 Churchill

[Alex Bridgeman]

Youthful purple in colour. A dirty spirit and almonds smell in the glass - do Churchill use a different spirit from most other people which takes time to integrate properly? Neutral entry, quite dry in style with modest tannins and modest fruit on the mid-palate. Chewy fruit salad chews on the finish with a nice dose of pepper to liven it up. Rather a delicate and light style without the exuberant fruit normally found in newly released VP. 84-86/100. Drunk 07-Nov-16.
