Cockburn’s Special Reserve Port – 750ML

Cockburn’s Special Reserve was originally introduced in 1969 as the first great Reserve Port, creating an entirely new Port category that was fundamental to the success of Port and the Douro over the following decades. Cockburn’s Special Reserve is a very fine wine selected for its richness and concentration, from the finest vineyards in the Upper Douro and matured in oak casks for five years. This longer wood ageing gives its fruity and full-bodied palate a distinctive dry finish, making Cockburn’s Special Reserve the benchmark for all Reserve Ports.

Tasting Notes

Garnet red color. A youthful nose packed with rich and concentrated aromas of red fruits, predominantly red cherry and hints of plums and strawberry. On the palate sweet, well rounded, medium length and with luscious red berry flavors leading to a distinctive dry finish, balanced with fine wood-aged flavors.

Serving Suggestion

Special Reserve is delicious served at the end of a meal, for example with rich, nutty or chocolate desserts, as well as a cheese platter. Although usually served at room temperature, Reserve Ports are equally delicious when served lightly chilled in hot weather.
