1984 Churchill Fojo
Posted: 13:53 Wed 02 Mar 2022
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).
When extracted the cork wasn't in great condition, but clearly didn't mention "FOJO" (unlike the 86 and 89 corks), and almost certainly said "1982".
Unlike the bottle of 1982 opened for the same tasting this didn't have a wax capsule and the bottle was a slightly different shape.
At the tasting the winemaker (Johnny Graham) was certain that this was the 84, and that the cork was probably just left over from the 82s.
