1967 Cockburn vintage port
Posted: 19:44 Sun 06 Nov 2011
Reddish-brown appearance, looking less evolved than the Ferreira '63; 50% opaque. Quite closed on the nose, showing some heat and stewed fruit - or maybe jelly beans. Sweet entry, initially showing flavours of soft toffee and red licorice. Good balance with gentle acidity supporting the flavours. Softly tannic aftertaste, coffee dominated but with lingering fruit. Very tasty port. 85/100. Drunk 13 October 2011.
