For The Love Of Port

Tasted July 31st 2010 at the FTLOP 5th Year Anniversary
Bottled by L. Rosenheim & Sons London
Cloudy. Darker ruby than the other old Ports tasted that day. Very slight and subtle nose. Now it's starting to open up. Pungent, agressive, spirity nose. High toned. Surprising palate presence. Huge spicy mid-palate and finish. This is great old Vintage Port. Long, long caramel finish. Maybe the greatest old Cockburn that I've had. This really hung in there over several hours. 94 Points

Best bottles of the 1935 Cockburn are something special. I've had others not show as well, but this was a beautiful example of what this particular Port can achieve. Not bad for a 75 year old.
