Churchill's Estates Grafite Tinto
Churchill's Estates Grafite Tinto
Red | Douro | 2020 | 13.5%
Mid crimson. Inviting aroma of pure, non-sweet black fruit and a stone-dust/mineral note. Deep-fruited, smooth and easy to sip, balanced and generous without loss of freshness. Tannins are chewy but on the way to smooth. (Julia Harding, 16.5 points, Jancis.Robinson.com)
