1983 Cockburn's Vintage Port

[Andy Velebil]

The color had some slight signs of bricking but was still in the medium ruby category. Lots of violets, white cherries, white plums, cigar box, cedar, and lots of balance. There was also some secondary notes of coffee just starting to show. Interesting to catch this at this stage, as it was just starting to get some secondary flavors. A very nice long finish. There was some discussion that this may have a very small amount of TCA on it. None the less, this still showed very well even if there was a tiny bit of TCA poking its ugly head through. 94-95 points
