A
relative newcomer on the Port scene, founded by Johnny Graham
(pictured) in 1981, Churchill have now begun making table wines,
too. I’ve tried a few vintages of their wines, and come away
thinking that they are on the right sort of lines, aiming at
elegance and balance rather than power.
Churchill
Estates 2004
Smooth, sweet, supple fruity dark fruits nose leading to a
supple ripe palate, showing some elegance and good acidity. Really
nice purity of fruit here, with good freshness. Perhaps finishes
just a touch short? Very good/excellent 91/100
