Discover this Special Reserve Port

Established by Scotsman Robert Cockburn in 1815, who returned to Portugal after first visiting the country as a soldier fighting under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars. Cockburn's vineyard holdings are some of the largest in the Douro region which gives the house valuable flexibility in selecting only the very best fruit for their ports. This Special Reserve Port is a mature off-dry style with a 'vintage character' of dried plums, walnuts and tobacco aromas and a palate that is soft and mellow with a nice, long length.

Critical Acclaim

Deep red/purple colour. It still has purple tinges and is not showing its age. Smells and looks young with distinctive Portuguese peppery spicy wood, spirit and fruit aroma, plus a touch of licorice. The palate is moderately intense and clean, with quite firm tannin on the finish counter-balancing the sweetness. It's not overly sweet and the finish is balanced and clean with tannin and acid drying it nicely. A pleasing young port.
