Winery - Churchill's
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dry and solidly tannic, with hints of wood and spice. The fruit is stalky, juicy, with acidity as a constant presence. It is bright, but without great depth.

Power is the word to describe this wine, with its firm, dark tannins, dusty and solid over brooding heavy fruits. It is perhaps foursquare, and there is a core of dryness.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wine that has dried fruits and spices over a juicy, fresh base. There are tannins, a core of dryness, but everything is in balance, and the fruit-forward character of the wine suggests early drinking.

A sweet, slightly spirity Port that lacks any real depth or complexity, yet still provides a modicum of pleasure in its sugary, cooked-fruit flavors of prunes, dates and raisins.

A strong showing for Churchill's, the 1998 LBV shows delicate aromas of walnuts and flowers, while the flavors are an ineresting blend of nuts, leather and dried fruits. Soft and easy on the finish; clearly destined for short-term drinking.

An earthy, spicy, mushroomy style, with lots of cinnamon and clove alongside modest amounts of plummy fruit. Develops some bittersweet chocolate notes on the finish.

Firm and balanced, this spicy wine also shows layers of black currant and dark tannins. Its general character is firm and dry, the tannins giving a dominant structure, promising aging.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A big, bold, robust wine, dominated by black berry fruits and a deep layer of spice and toast. It is very rich, the tannins showing some structure, with the acidity buried in sweet, ripe fruit.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A firm, solidly tannic wine that is balanced easily between tight fruit tannins, elegant plum fruits and taut acidity. The aftertaste is smoky from the wood, but with the fruit always present.
