Very pale pink. Thin nose, that SRG thought contained “woodiness†. Thin glace cherries, light, and little aftertaste. Nothing wrong with it: just a never-large Cockburn grown old.

4 hours decanted. Pale red in colour and with a weakly coloured centre. An odd nose, almost petrolly. Bitterness initially in the mouth with dry and raw tannins dominating the mid-palate over the thin fruit that was still remaining in the port. An aftertaste that is dominated by alcohol and is not very good. A poor wine that may be better with more time in the decanter.

Revisiting the wine 2 hours later, it had improved significantly in the glass, but was still weak and tired although far more drinkable then when first tried. 1/0 or 85/100.
