2011 Cockburn
Deep purple-red in colour with a very narrow rim. Wonderful on the nose, floral and fragrant, attractive and mouthwatering. Delicious and fragrant entry, full of light sweet and fragrant bramble fruit. Gentle tannins hold the balance and persist through the aftertaste and long finish. Huge levels of the fruit throughout this port. This is a very fine port with the balance between the fruit, acidity and tannins that promises a long and fabulous life. Great port. 93/100. 24-Feb-16.
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!
