1935 Cockburn Vintage Port

1935 Cockburn VP
The Cockburn was a dark brown with a clear rim and a little cloudy. The nose was a combination of spices and mint. It had some dark fruit on the palate, cherry notably, and a bit of heat. This port was definitely changing over the night and tasted a little different every time. It was interesting to try split declaration VPs ('34/'35) but this time I preferred the '34. Overall, it was very good, but not quite great. 91 points.
Tasted on July 31, 2010 as part of FTLOP's 5th Anniversary tasting.
