DESCRIPTION
Cockburn's was founded in 1815 by Robert Cockburn, a Scot who first came to Portugal as a soldier under Wellington. Since 2010 the house has belonged to the Symington family. Special Reserve comes from the quintas in the upper Douro Valley that also give Cockburn's vintage Ports, and it is aged and bottled at the lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, across the river from Porto.
It is a vintage character Port, a blend of fine rubies from several years aged in large vats. Only five grapes go in: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. A slightly longer fermentation gives a less sweet finish and more grip, and a higher share of older wines adds layers. It is medium dark ruby with a garnet edge and a clean nose with a hint of dried plum. Off-dry to medium sweet, it is rich and mellow, with smooth tannins and a long finish. No decanting needed.
Serve it at about 60 to 64°F in a small wine glass. The classic match is aged Stilton after dinner, or roasted almonds, walnuts and dark chocolate.
