2016 Cockburn's

2016 Cockburn's

Intensely perfumed with violet and a very intriguing note of balsamic. Rich and rounded, dark fruits combine with chocolate and a little touch of mocha. Loaded with warm winter spice, clove, aniseed and a little ginger. Velvet layers linger on the palate and right on the finish comes a touch of mint. Stunning.

Tasting notes

Dark crimson with a mere hint of ruby at the rim. Lifted and silky. This immediately makes a claim to be a top-drawer wine on the nose. Very round with a savoury, herbal, dry finish but absolutely gorgeously sweet and fresh on the palate. Just a little heat on the end but this is a very convincing sign that Cockburn is back on form, even if it may not be one of the longest living.
