Churchill's Quinta da Gricha 2003 Vintage Port 750ml
The wine is very dark, almost black in color with a typical Gricha nose of fresh concentrated blueberries. The taste is more one dimensional than the Churchill’s Vintage Port blend but there is a soft, luscious mouth-filling flavor of rich berries with excellent natural acidity and tannins.
"Intense grape flavor, with crushed fruits and light raisins. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with a big, tannic structure. A mouthpuckering blockbuster. This has grip!" - Wine Spectator
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!
