Churchill's Quinta da Gricha 2009 Vintage Port 750ml
An exuberant Port with a distinctive expression of Douro terroir; dark cherry in colour with an aroma of raisins and ripe figs; on the palate fine grained tannins combine with concentrated crushed red berries to give this elegant Port a rich and juicy flavour.
Intense dark color with scents of dark fruit and chocolate. The taste is powerful, complex and with a balanced sweet-tannin content. Long, aromatic aftertaste.
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!
