Cockburn Port

Cockburn is the most well known brand of port thanks to its Special Reserve, the worlds biggest selling ruby port. In the early 20th Century it had an enviable reputation for selling the finest quality Vintage Port such as the legendary 1912. However its sale in 1963 and the subsequent focus on the Special reserve led to the decline of the vintage port side of the business.

The nadir for the company was when they decided to ignore the 1977 vintage, probably the finest of the 70's, opting instead to declare a lacklustre 1978 vintage. After a period in the doldrums the formal acquisition of the company by the Symington Family Estates (SFE) in 2010 (who made the wines from 2006) has led to the revival of the brand. SFE have worked hard to rebuild this historic brand by focusing on producing high quality port again. The recent vintages such as the 2015 and 2016 are near the top of the form.

Tasting notes highlight a prominent nose featuring chocolate oranges and marmalade, complemented by a subtle hint of rose perfume. On the palate, it presents a slightly hollow entry that gradually unfolds into flavors of ripe fruit and bitter orange. The finish is characterized by a touch of heat, settling into a soft and sweet length reminiscent of red licorice.

The 1975 vintage in the Douro Valley was notable, with most shippers declaring it a good year, producing attractive and elegant Vintage Ports. …
