1970 Cockburn

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A warm cinnamon red colour, 50% opaque. A little dirty on the nose, smelling of bruised fruit. Bruised and muddy on the palate and a pleasant bruised apple finish. Decent, but far from the great wine it should be. 87/100. Drunk 24-Apr-23. Decanted 10 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
