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

From a case of 12 in OWC purchased from Corney & Barrow broking in March 2021.


Level into neck. Double decanted 24 hours in advance of the tasting. Cork fell apart.

This is lovely. Similar in style to the 82 but much less sweet. Red fruit, dry and quite spirity but not in an unpleasant way. Milk chocolate and strawberry with a citrus acidity. A long finish. Excellent.

My WotN.

A good rich red. A bit stinky on the nose at first but that blew off. Attractive but a bit indeterminate for my palate.

"...it might be nice to have a proper tasting of the Churchill VPs and SQs"
