“Black core with a violet rim. On the nose, intense floral aromas of violets with fresh blackberries undertones. Rich and complex on the palate, with firm tannins and a mineral grip on the finish.” – Johnny Graham and Ricardo Pinto Nunes

Churchill's Quinta da Gricha Port 2017	96 Wine Spectator A dark, chunky, muscular style, with flavors of steeped fig, black currant preserves and blueberry reduction forming the core, which is liberally coated in singed apple wood, licorice snap and sweet tobacco notes. Shows a serious tug of tarry earth at the end, finishing with a distinctly dry feel. Very backward, yet well-built. Best from 2035 through 2060. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 250 cases made. 92 James Suckling Beautiful balance and finesse to this Port, which suggests chocolate-covered blackberries, oyster shells and tea leaves. Medium-to full-bodied and quite sweet. The tannins are fine and supple, feathering dainty, dark-plum notes into slightly savory notes. Drink from 2025.

Churchill's Quinta da Gricha Port 2019	92 Wine Spectator Very polished, with a red fruit profile of cassis, kirsch and cherry compote notes, all wrapped in fruitcake, red licorice and sweet spice. Keeps its polish through the finish. Best from 2037 through 2055. 282 cases made. 93 Wine Enthusiast The Churchill flagship quinta has produced a serious style of Port. Dry and richly structured, it also has jammy red-berry fruits that will cushion the firmness. Drink the wine from 2029.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
