Re: 1955 Cockburn
A half bottle. Oxidised nose, smelling strongly of rosemary and antiseptic. The antiseptic shows strongly on the palate. Although the palate does have a nice texture the flavours emphasise the oxidised state of this half bottle. Long, dry finish. Not Rated. Drunk 24-May-17. Double decanted for 12 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.
