2009 Cockburn LBV

Post by Bradley Bogdan »

Decanted for 4 hours

Ideal T cork, pitch dark color.

Nose of brambles and dark berries and jam, with a surprisingly green forest-y aspect I'm not used to in younger VP and LBV.

Palate is fruit forward, again with rich dark berry jams, big grippy tannins, drying and thinning the close, leaving a bit of a green forest-y finish. This is plenty tasty, but perhaps a minor casualty of a hot year where things didn't quite achieve the same phenolic ripeness as sugar ripeness.

88 pts.
