Are you able to make Port wine millennial-friendly? Cockburn’s is looking for out, providing new expressions of three traditional types in untraditional bottles, full with vibrantly designed labels and a catchy tagline. These are all reportedly new, “experimental” formulations that use “the highest-grade tons often reserved for our greatest wines.” That mentioned, I believe most Port followers will discover them quite acquainted, taste profile-wise.
Let’s attempt them.
NV Cockburn’s Tails of the Surprising Port Ruby Soho – A conventional, fairly candy ruby, providing a punch of contemporary raspberry and light-weight notes of mint and orange peel. The wine is sort of like a punch at occasions, with loads of sweetness that by no means turns into cloying. Hints of black tea and chocolate on the again finish are a pleasant add.

NV Cockburn’s Tails of the Surprising Port Tawny Eyes – Once more, a reasonably conventional bottling that showcases the tawny type properly. Some oxidation offers this a extra brooding sensibility, with significantly much less sweetness than the ruby. Gentle notes of chocolate, blended florals, and bitter gentian kick up earlier than a pointy raspberry end, laced with cloves. Surprisingly balanced and versatile.

NV Cockburn’s Tails of the Surprising Port White Heights – Robust notes of sugared, white grapes cleared the path on this quite straightforwardly candy quantity, which dials again on the weather of oxidation or ageing and lets the extra exuberant white grape should dominate. A while in glass is useful, giving the wine a light word of orange blossoms and clover honey. Maybe sweeter (by design) than most white Ports, making it a main candidate for a white Port and tonic cocktail. B+ / [BUY IT NOW FROM THE WHISKY EXCHANGE]
