Cockburn's Tawny Porto (10 Years Matured in Wood) NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe crispness and "grip" that is the hallmark of Cockburn's tawny come from the judicious blending and the continuous refreshing of these wood-aged wines. Look for a nutty, rancio, cedar, earthy nose with hints of licorice, tea and raisins. Fiery, warm entry with intense earthy rancio, licorice, tea and nutty, butter with dried berry flavours. Elegant and not too sweet but definitely on the hot and fiery side.Tasted: 20 December 2003Tasted by: Prices:
