2016 Cockburn`s Vintage Port
Secondary Description
Quite expressive on the nose with very forthcoming fruit and perfume. Soft attack with little alcohol showing at the moment but slightly disjointed at this very early showing. With air and a few minutes in the glass it comes together much better and should drink very well in the mid-term. Finishes on fine tannin and red fruit, this is a very well made wine. (CW 17/05/18)

Jancis Robinson
The Douro Superior port shipper rescued by the Symingtons from its multinational phase in December 2010. The principal source is the 97-ha vineyard at Quinta dos Canais and, even further east, the 13-ha vineyard at Quinta do Vale Coelho. Dark crimson with a mere hint of ruby at the rim. Lifted and silky. This immediately makes a claim to be a top-drawer wine on the nose. Very round with a savoury, herbal, dry finish but absolutely gorgeously sweet and fresh on the palate. Just a little heat on the end but this is a very convincing sign that Cockburn is back on form, even if it may not be one of the longest living. Drink 2035-2065. 18 points
