1983 Cockburn’s Vintage Port:
This is Caleb’s birth year, so hence this selection. This showed a little bottle stink at first decanting and by the time we were getting ready to start it became obvious this was another TCA riddled bottle….such a shame that so many of these are tainted. N/R 12/27/08

The % of badly infected bottles is quite amazing. I am looking forward to our next visit to Cockburn's to discuss this in greater detail.

I'm just avoiding this one. My rate of TCA infected bottles is about 75%.
