2008 Cockburn Quinta dos Canais

Post by DRT »

Cask sample tasted blind in June 2010 as part of this review

Violets on the nose. Nice thick entry with lots of dark, brooding fruits. Powerful and robust with a solid backbone of acidity and tannin. Everything about this wine feels big and well composed. The finish is long and mouth-watering. Very good port. 91 points.
