1967 Cockburn

Thirty-six and a half years on from my first bottle, 1967 Cockburn can still be transcendental. Who knew.

A very nice port that tends to fly under the radar.

Opened 2000 Day 1, decanted 0800 Dy 2, consumed 1800-2130 Day 2.

Paling rim. Good 'mature port' colour, 40% opaque. Nice spice on nose. Unctuous palate reminiscent of cherry cough drops. Little bit of clementine and star anise on the finish.

Delicious. Best bottle of this I've had in twenty years.
