Churchill's Late Bottled Vintage Ruby Port
Solid black cherry color with a violet rim. Fresh resinous nose, with aromas of black plums and blackcurrant. Very well structured on the palate, with flavors of dry chocolate and black pepper, with plenty of grip on the finish. The blended Port is then matured in large oak vats during 4 years where it softens, shedding its harsh tannins, but without losing its full bodied, rich fruit flavors.
