Churchill’s 2017 Vintage Port – A Collector’s Masterpiece from Portugal’s Duoro Valley
Crafted by the esteemed Churchill’s winery in Portugal’s renowned Duoro region, this 2017 Vintage Port is a symphony of indigenous grapes—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Francisca, and Tinta Cão. With a bold 20% alcohol content, this opulent red wine is designed for long-term aging, promising an extraordinary evolution of flavors over decades.
Critically Acclaimed Excellence
Awarded 96 points by Wine Spectator, this vintage dazzles with its ripe, layered profile—think steeped fig, boysenberry, and blueberry, elegantly framed by graphite tannins and hints of anise and fruitcake. Wine Enthusiast echoes the praise, highlighting its floral depth, black fruit intensity, and formidable structure, recommending a prime drinking window from 2032 onward. James Suckling (93 pts) notes its heady aromas of raisins, tar, and treacle tart, balanced by juicy morello cherries and firm tannins.
