Churchill's Quinta da Gricha Vintage Port 2003The 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 Churchills Vintage Port blend but there is a soft, luscious mouth filling flavor of rich berries with excellent natural acidity and tannins.

The intensity of the fruit covers the tannins nicely
