2011 Cockburn

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Magenta centre, purple rim. Well developed nose with plenty of fruit. Soft fruit forward entry, mid-weight with a balance and elegance. The tannins are slow to show but are firm in grip when they eventually appear. Long and flavoursome finish. A fine return to the elegant Cockburn style of old. 92-94. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013 at the BFT 4.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
