1950 Cockburn
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 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
