1950 Cockburn
Wine 11, Cockburn 1950 bottled by Tanners of Shrewsbury. Sweet. Decanted 2 hours. The nose is surprisingly dense and incredibly spicy. Fully mature on nose and palate, sweet bramble fruit offset by warm nutmeg and clove. Bright ginger and clove infused bramble jelly finish. Glorious mature Port. 93/100. Drunk on 12-Dec-2024 at the 2024 Port Forum Christmas Tasting of The Unknown Shipper and His Peculiar Friends.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Lovely dark rose colour. Spice, white pepper. Cracking port. Most guesses revolved around 1945.
