Description and Reviews:
The Churchill's 20 Years Old Tawny Port is an expression of Douro terroir, combined with delicate ageing in seasoned oak casks. The result of this combination is a port full of finesse that retains Churchill's characteristic fresh identity.
Tasting Notes Deep amber in colour. The bouquet is rich and aromatic, offering a harmonious blend of dried fruits, such as figs, prunes, and apricots, intertwined with notes of toasted almonds and walnuts. There are subtle hints of toffee, caramel, and vanilla, along with a touch of spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg. The texture is velvety and rich, with a balanced sweetness that is not overwhelming.The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering flavors of caramel, dried citrus, and a touch of spice.
Serving & Food Pairing: Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline.
Compared to other Port Wine shippers, most of which were established around the turn of the18th/19th centuries, Churchill’s history is short. Johnny Graham founded Churchill’s, (named after his wife’s maiden name) in 1981, making it the first British port company to be established in fifty years.
How to store your Tawny Port: The bottle should be kept upright and protected from direct sunlight and heat.
