Community Tasting Note

  January 12, 2024 - A solid bottle right here folks. In the same league as other Churchills, with perhaps a little less power and spice than the 2013 and missing the yeast note that the 2012 carries, this 2015 is a well-honed specimen, albeit juvenile and primary, that even now offers invigorating flavors of yellow, orange-ish, and green citrus, yellow and brown pear, fresh ginger (signature Churchill), and striking minerality. A really nice electricity here, which is common in the Churchill lineage.
  
  Grab a bag of kettle chips and go to town. Glad I have a few of these to lay down for a while. Best to hold a few years but a treat to try now. The Churchill has proven to be a very consistent label.
