Cockburns Vintage Port 2000 75cl

By COCKBURNS PORT

Aromas of violets and blueberries dominate the nose and full-bodied palate. The wonderfully layered flavours are delivered on big smooth tannins and lead to a long velvety finish. This Vintage Port will age to perfection over the next twenty years, so says Jim Reader, General Manager and head of the wine making team at Cockburn in 2000.

More about Cockburns Port ... is made from grapes of a single harvest from vineyards whose crops show exceptional quality. Aged just two years in cask the wine is bottled unfiltered, therefore absolutely nothing is taken out. Vintage Ports are made in very small quantities and benefit from 15-50+ years of bottle ageing; because they are unfiltered they will, during that time, throw a thick sediment and require careful decanting and are best served on the day they are opened.
Quinta dos Canais is our home in the remote Upper Douro Valley. Our mountain vineyards hug the slopes of the ridge running down to the river, surrounded by rocky crags, rushing waterfalls, wild scrub and flowers. It is our own small slice of paradise (well, 271 hectares, 670 acres, actually). Canais has been the heart and soul of Cockburn’s Vintage Ports for over a hundred years.

Vintage Notes; The 2000 winter was mild and dry. Spring rain at flowering caused some reduction in overall crop size. Summer was hot and dry, giving a regular and uniform grape maturation until mid-August, when light rains brought welcome refreshment to the vines. The vintage began in the Upper Douro in the second week of September. The weather cooperated fully, providing warm and dry conditions during the day and cool night time temperatures. A suitably momentous wine from millennium year.
Decant; If you have a decanter, use it for this Port. If you do not, try ‘double decanting', which achieves the same effect: pour the port in to a suitable neutral receptacle, such as a jug. Take especial care towards the end of the bottle- use natural light or a candle to see when the sediment starts to be poured. Without undue wastage, stop pouring at this point. Rinse then drain the original bottle, then pour the decanted port back in to serve. The process also opens up the full depth of tastes and aromas to be enjoyed.
Tasting Notes; really evolved and complex; chocolatey palate with gorgeous texture and flavour. Enjoy now, its wonderful
Best with; Lovely on its own or enjoy with fruit desserts, Cheese and especially good with Christmas Pudding

Reviews: ROBERT PARKER RATING: 95 "Potentially one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, this inky black/purple-colored 2000 exhibits notes of scorched earth, melted asphalt, blackberry liqueur, and a pungent, penetrating intensity that reverberates in the mouth as well as the head. Full-bodied, massive, and concentrated, with a 45-second finish, this thrilling effort should drink well between 2010-2035"
