Churchill's Quinta da Gricha 2003 Vintage Port 750ml
The wine is very dark, almost black in color with a typical Gricha nose of fresh concentrated blueberries. The taste is more one dimensional than the Churchill’s Vintage Port blend but there is a soft, luscious mouth-filling flavor of rich berries with excellent natural acidity and tannins.
"Intense grape flavor, with crushed fruits and light raisins. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with a big, tannic structure. A mouthpuckering blockbuster. This has grip!" - Wine Spectator
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
