Cockburn's Special Reserve Port (75cl, 20%)

Cockburn's Special Reserve Port is a ruby reserve port from Portugal's Upper Douro Valley, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml format. Cockburn's was founded in 1815 in Oporto and has been under Symington Family Estates since 2010. The wine is made from a field blend of Tinta Cão, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca from Quinta dos Canais. It matures for up to four years in large oak vats, longer than standard ruby ports, building body and smoothing tannins while preserving vibrant fruit. The nose opens with concentrated red cherry and ripe plum, with caramel, baking spice and subtle dried fruit. The palate is sweet and round with red and dark berry flavours, cedar and warming spice. The finish is long and warming, with a peppery quality and a slightly dry close.
