1985 Churchill's Vintage Port

[John M.]

1985 Churchills: I was concerned when opening, the cork was depressed about a 1/5 of an inch with a large coating of mold fuzz. I cleaned carefully with hot water and an old toothbrush....considering the cork and brand I was thinking this will not be so good...but then.... Light burnt red brick with pale orange meniscus. Over the grape I got green rye grass on the nose. Hints of leather, touch of chocolate over a light berry tone. Acidic and short finish, moderate weight. Just a nice melding of flavors and attractive finish. 91 Points
