TN: 2003 Cockburn Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Deep red colour, lighter on the rim. Slightly harsh on the nose over the fresh cranberries and bramble. Sweet fruit, mixed with an interesting pine sap initially but this is overwhelmed by the huge amount of fruit - but fruit which is held in a gentle restraint . What a lovely structure. Very mouthfilling and with a huge aftertaste. A massive aftertaste. Extremely enjoyable now but will be a real star in 20-50 years time. This blend had more Tinta Cao than the normal blend. 90 points
