Cockburn's Vintage Port 1970 sherry wines

Cockburn's Vintage Port 1970 sherry winesThe 1970 Cockburn is only just coming into full maturity. It is typical of the house: full bodied, rich, alcoholic and spirited. The wine is meaty, chocolaty, spicy, full bodied, big and powerful. Firm, mature appearance. Mature, meaty, earthy hue. Lovely texture. Still has firm acidity. Good mature flavours. Lots of structure still. Good length and pleasantly mature. 16. 5 20 Wine Doctor.
