With its lighter, reddish-tawny colour, this elegant Port offers a perfect balance of youthful fruitiness and nutty complexity from its oak maturation. Ideal for enjoying at the end of a meal or savouring during relaxed gatherings with friends, this Port showcases the dedication to quality that Cockburn’s has upheld since 1815. Under the guidance of the Symington family, Cockburn’s has returned to its roots, focusing on producing exceptional wines.
Tasting Notes:
In the glass, Cockburn’s Fine Tawny Port displays a bright, reddish-tawny hue, hinting at its mellow complexity. The nose is an inviting mix of light, crisp fruit aromas intertwined with a delightful nutty toffee sweetness, a result of its maturation in oak casks. On the palate, the wine is smooth, balanced, and elegant, leading to a long, subtle finish that lingers beautifully. This Tawny Port pairs wonderfully with rich, creamy desserts and dried fruits, or can simply be enjoyed on its own, served slightly chilled for the perfect refreshing touch. No decanting needed, and best enjoyed within four weeks of opening.
