It&#8217;s not expensive, but it offers a real taste of the region, combining ripeness with definition. It&#8217;s stocked by Majestic and Tanners in the UK, both of whom still seem to be on the 2010, but will soon switch over to 2011. The 2010 is really good; the 2011 a slight step up. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Churchill\u2019s Estates 2011 Douro, Portugal<\/strong><br \/>\n14.5% alcohol. Ripe, sweet blackberry and black cherry fruit dominates this delicious Douro red. It\u2019s quite pure and floral on the nose, and then the palate is textured and lush, without lacking freshness and definition. There\u2019s a subtle hint of olives and meat. A stylish wine with superb balance. 92\/100 02\/14 (Usually stocked by Majestic and Tanners)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very impressed by this 2011 Douro red from Churchill.
