- 1964 Barros Porto Colheita - Portugal, Douro, Porto (9/18/2016)
Bottled in 2016. Light amber brown in color. Herbs and spice on the nose. The entry appears like orange peel (bitterness) but resolves on the mid-palate into candied oranges (sweetness). Full-bodied and unctuous, with a clean floral profile and balanced acidity on the long finish. (93 pts.)
At the Cockburn Lodge, we tasted through a wide range of Cockburn's more recent wines, including the 2011 VP.
