Wine Spectator 91 points - Aromas of blackberry, mineral and lead pencil follow through to a full-bodied, chewy and rich palate. Still tannic and rich. Quite dry for a Vintage Port. Needs time to come around. Raisiny aftertaste. Big wine. Better than I remember. ’77/’85/’97 blind Port retrospective. Best after 2009. 5,000 cases made. –JS (Jan 1 2008)
Vintage Port is the flagship of the Churchill’;s range. The powerful backbone is achieved through a combination of wines from our various Grade A quintas. Renowned for being full bodied, well balanced with deep jammy fruit.

| Producer |
| Founded in 1981 by John Graham and his wife Caroline Churchill, Churchill’s port is an independent, family-owned Port Wine House -- the first independent port wine house established in more than fifty years.
Churchill’s is the only port wine producer who begins with wines produced only from grapes grown in Grade A vineyards. And according to Robert Parker, Jr., writing in The Wine Advocate, “Churchill’s has established an impeccable reputation for superb quality.”
