Churchill's 2011 Vintage Port

Valentina Ricci — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this as a 40th birthday present to myself and honestly no regrets. It's dark and rich but somehow not heavy — the alcohol doesn't hit you at all despite being 20%. Lasted me a few evenings with some stilton and I savoured every glass.

Jake Morrison — Pulled this out for a dinner party

9/10

Opened this after a big roast and it was the highlight of the evening. So smooth for 20% ABV, you genuinely can't tell. Everyone kept asking what it was. The kind of port that makes you sit back and just enjoy the moment.

Diana Cruz — Really good but pricey

8/10

Tried this at a friend's dinner party and went out and bought a bottle the next week. It's proper serious port — dark fruit, well balanced, everything working together. Bit hard to justify the price tag when there are decent ports for half that, but it is a step up if you're celebrating something.
