1967 Cockburn

Post by winesecretary »

A lovely pale pink.

Super, lightweight port. Pretty cranberry scented almond essence stuff. Acidity a bit prominent.

This is ravishing port in the lighter vein. Pop and decant and pour and enjoy.

Updated to include shipper. It might not have been in the first five bottles opened that evening.

As above...
Fairly light, but drinking beautifully. Really doesn't need any decanting time. Not going to last forever, but no rush to finish these up.

I like Ck67; it's a gentle and enjoyable softer port rather than powerhouse, and often found at quite reasonable prices.
I haven't seen another bottle of the "Joanna" bottling of Ck67 for a while now.

I have one left (out of 12) in my cellar, but haven't seen any of these offered for sale for 20+ years.

I picked up 2 of these about 4 years ago at an Acker's auction in the U.S. for under $100 each. I have yet to try one, but I plan on drinking one in 2027 along with a 1967 Butler Nephew.
