The 2003 has an intensity of colour and a concentrated berry aroma which enriches the vintage blend while retaining the traditional tannic structure of Churchill's Vintage Port. 2003 will be a big, tannic, fruity and long-lived vintage well worthy of cellaring for a generation or more.
"An impressive, finely tannic Port with solid, ripe fruits and great black jelly and fig flavors." - Wine Enthusiast
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
