2007 Churchill Quinta da Gricha
I hadn’t appreciated until trying this that Churchill made an SQVP in 2007. I’m not sure if they made a full declaration, too.
Deep purple, fading a little. Quite floral on the nose. In the mouth elegant, less sweet than many Ports, with few tannins left. A really enjoyable Port.
Forgive the short note which was written down some time after trying this Port.
Rated*: C
* A Note on Ratings
My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are weighted slightly by their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port might receive a C rating for Certainly good which it might not were it to be a Vintage Port. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
