92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The Churchill’s Vintage Port has a comparatively light, aniseed-tinged bouquet with orange blossom that wafts seductively from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins and very well-judged acidity that lends this young Churchill’s great precision. This is a very harmonious Vintage Port with a lovely touch of salted licorice towards the finish. Beautiful. (Jun 2013)"
93+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "[$134 list] Good bright, deep ruby. Highly nuanced nose combines blueberry, blackberry, violet, spices and graphite minerality complemented by hints of molasses, tobacco and white pepper. Firmly built, minerally and classic; not a particularly sweet or opulent style but supple, seamless and understated. Finishes with a firm tannic structure and terrific focus and length. Lovely finesse and clarity here--and built for a leisurely evolution in bottle. (May 2014)"
93 points James Suckling: "This is very floral and fruity with dark cherries and wild berries. Full body, lightly sweet with lots of fruit and a firm tannic backbone. Serious grip or finish to this young Port. This seems to be a remake of the outstanding 1994. 6,000 cases produced of this foot-trodden wine. Try in 2020. (5/21/13)"
