Vintage Port

This historic house was founded in 1829 and had an excellent reputation for producing fine vintage ports until it was acquired and integrated into the Sandeman port house. The 1955 Butler Nephew has a mature tawny colour. The nose is still complex and enjoyable with herbal notes and molasses. The port is medium body on the palate with a medium plus finish - a very attractive and enjoyable old port.

Vintage Port - LEVEL BASE OF NECK - BBR LABEL

This 1960 Cockburn Port is quite a full-bodied, rich, alcoholic, spirited vintage port that offers meaty, chocolatey, spicy, full-bodied, alcoholic flavours. "A light tawny colour, almost a medium rose, with very slow legs. The nose smelt of marzipan, rosewater and aniseed. A medium bodied taste of ripe dates with a dash of spirit and a fantail finish lasting a good while. This grand port was alive and delivering pleasure. Thank you Cockburn's for the treat. 89/100 (Nicos Neocleous, UK)" UK Wine Forum.

Vintage Port

"Bright tawny with orange flecks, there are whacks of dried fruit and sultanas on the nose, with hints of bitter chocolate and Christmas pudding. The palate is sweet but balanced with a lovely acidity. A fascinating multilayered wine, with the oxidization bringing out maple syrup flavours, coupled with leather and cigar box aromas wrapped around rich dried fruit. Complex, captivating and holding up beautifully." Decanter, Fine Wine Encounter 2009.

The 1960 has a light russet core with deep tawny rim. A lovely soft, mulberry infused nose with a touch of sloes and coca that could do with a tad more delineation. …

Vintage Port

The 1960 Sandeman is a deep purple black colour, with sweet black fruits on the nose. This is mirrored on the palate, which has rich, chocolate-edged fruit. Still plenty of tannin but with so much sweet substance and nicely balanced alcohol, it is still drinking well.

Vintage Port - Excellent Provenance.

These bottles were taken from an underground cellar bin in a small country house where they have been stored since original purchase. They were unlabelled so identification was from the corks from bottles that we opened and tasted.

This is a stunning 1960 port. The colour is deep garnet offering floral notes, coffee and cassis on the nose. On the palate a full bodied mouth-feel hints of warm chocolate, coffee and raisins. Utterly complete and delicious after 60 years. 98/100 (VWP).
