COSY UP WITH COCKBURN’S® VINTAGE PORTS THIS VALENTINE’S

For those searching for a gift to satisfy the difficult-to-buy-for man in their life this Valentine’s Day, look no further than Cockburn’s selection of 2007 vintage ports. Push the boat out and choose from Cockburn’s Quinta dos Canais 2007 and Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 for that really unique gift that can be laid down to be enjoyed in years to come, or can be drunk now as the perfect digestif to round off a romantic evening.

Relax and enjoy the rich cassis flavours of the Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 or the soft, rich fruits of Cockburn’s Quinta dos Canais 2007 and let the port seduce both your palate and your partner.

Cockburn’s has recently declared these two fantastic vintage ports after a bumper year in the vineyard and careful maturation in the cellars. A vintage year is not declared every year by The Port Wine Institute, making the new Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 and Cockburn’s Quinta dos Canais 2007 extremely special. Famous for their longevity and ability to age gracefully in the bottle for many years, vintage ports make an ideal lasting gift.

Tasting notes:
Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 is a blend of robust Touriga Nacional grapes, late harvested, characteristically floral Touriga Franca grapes and, for additional depth, an extremely intense blend of grapes from very old vineyards is added. It is deep purple in colour, showing lovely aromas of violets. Rich cassis flavours dominate the palate and combine perfectly with the typically dry and elegant Cockburn’s finish. Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 is available from Vintage House, RRP £33.95 and thedrinkshop.com, RRP £35.68.

Cockburn’s Quinta dos Canais 2007 has been blended from two grape varieties, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. This single Quinta vintage is opaque and purple in colour. Aromas of eucalyptus give it a clean and elegant style whilst rich flavours of sweet blackberries and firm tannins fill the mouth. A port of good ageing potential, whose soft, rich fruit can also be enjoyed whilst still young, Quinta dos Canais 2007 is available from Vintage House, RRP £31.95 and thedrinkshop.com, RRP £33.57.
