Overview:
Cockburn’s Fine Ruby Port is a quintessential representation of the vibrant, full-bodied style of Ruby Ports. A carefully crafted blend of young wines from various harvests, it is aged for two to three years in oak vats, achieving a remarkable balance of ripe red fruit flavours and fine structure. Whether sipped at the end of a fine dinner or shared with friends on relaxed occasions, this Port is a delightful and elegant choice. Since the Symington family’s acquisition of Cockburn’s in 2010, the focus has been steadfastly on the quality of the wine, restoring the reputation of this historic brand.
Tasting Notes:
In the glass, Cockburn’s Fine Ruby Port exhibits a lively, light ruby colour, with fresh and appealing aromas of red cherry and raspberry. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with soft, fruity flavours that evolve into a long and elegant finish. Its vibrant character and subtle complexity make it an excellent match for rich chocolate desserts, cheese, or simply enjoyed on its own. Best served slightly chilled in warm weather, it offers a refreshing and satisfying experience, with the added benefit of not needing to be decanted. Enjoy within four weeks of opening for optimum freshness.
