2016 Cockburn's, Port, Portugal

Description

The 2016 Vintage Ports have finally hit the market. Cockburn is one of the great historic properties in the Douro Valley, and it is now part of the Symington portfolio (along with Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s, and more). The 2016 Cockburn is 62% Touriga Nacional, 21% Touriga Franca, 9% Sousão and 8% Alicante Bouschet, predominately hillside grapes from the family’s Quinta dos Canais vineyard, which has been the backbone of Cockburn Vintage Port for over 100 years.

The nose on the 2016 shows fragrant red and black fruit, wild flowers, clove, ginger and spice. The palate offers extracted red fruits with layers of spice and a lovely acidity throughout. It is very dry and complex with incredible length; hide this away somewhere dark and look at it again in at least ten years.

About this wine

Cockburn

Cockburn was founded nearly 200 years ago by Scotsman, Robert Cockburn, who returned to Portugal after first visiting the country as a soldier fighting under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars. Originally it was based in the Douro valley, the traditional centre of Port production. A year later, Cockburn moved east to the Upper Douro Valley.
