The Cockburn's Vintage 2007 was mainly sourced from Quinta dos Canais. The Touriga Nacional from this fantastic vineyard was of exceptional quality. The grapes, picked late (23rd September) & in perfect weather conditions, were at ideal maturity & produced very robust & attractive wines. The blend therefore incorporated 45% of this variety. The other major contributor was the Touriga Franca, also from Canais, which was harvested considerably later on 5th October & benefitted from wonderful warm weather throughout the month of September. The perfect condition & maturity of this variety imparts magnificent floral characters to the blend. This variety composed 40% of this vintage. Finally, & to add extra complexity, the balance was made up of an extremely intense blend of grapes from the very old vineyards of Quinta das Amendoeiras close to Canais. This combination of grape varieties resulted in a very intense & tannic rich wine forming a firm & solid base to this magnificent vintage. Appearance: Very intense violet. Nose: Lovely aromas of violets. Palate: Rich cassis flavours dominate the palate. Finish: Typically dry & elegant Cockburn's finish. This vintage will be recorded as one of Cockburn's finest due to its great complexity of flavours, balance & rich tannins. The depth of this wine will ensure a long & perfect ageing potential. ...
