- NV Churchill/Graham Porto Crusted - Portugal, Douro, Porto (9/10/2017)
Bottled in 1986. This bottle was a leaker. Upon decanting,the color was light reddish brown. The palate was sweet, with a bit of alcohol heat.
Three and a half hours later, the color hasn't changed. The palate is less sweet and the alcohol heat is mostly gone. Flavors of tart plums dominate. It's not an unpleasant drink. I have three more bottles that aren't leaking and have great fill levels, so I'm looking forward to trying them. NR (flawed)

I like how they tell you to drink it from 1989 onwards. So basically, from the time you buy it on original release

Yes, and until the end of time.

Although I don't normally use emoticoms I whole hearted agree!
Also, as a fan of Churchill's Crustred Port, I am very interested in how the other bottles are like.

PS: Surely this must be one of Churchill's earliest bottlings?
