2004 Churchill Crusted Port
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 12:19 am
2004 is year of bottling. Probably a couple of years older, so actually now abt 10 years since harvest.
Metalcapsule and cork in good condition. Cork only red at the bottom.
5 hrs decanting. A lot of sediments (relatively big parts). Medium to light colour. Powerful aroma with berries, but too much spirit. Full body. Taste is quite smooth, however too much spirit, insufficient fruit, very rough tannins. Tried also with longer decanting over three days, but the impression was unchanged. Not buying this port again. 83 pts.
