1950 Cockburn

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Very light and evolved appearance, less than 10% opaque. Little shows on the nose, perhaps a touch of library dust and a hint of raspberry jam. Gentle and sweet on entry. Despite the pale colour the wine delivers an excellent intense cranberry and light honey. The perfect levels of acidity match the fruit and create an excellent palate and finish - although the finish is a little shorter than desirable. 89/100. tasted 30-Oct-22. Decanted 4 hours.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
