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. ...

A Delia Smith ' Cheat' Ingredient. Pina Colada recipe using Coco lopez. 2 shots Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut, 2 shots Pineapple Juice 1.5 shots Rum 1 cup ice Mix in blender until smooth. The heart of the coconut had long been an important ingredient in many delicious desserts from the tropical islands. The problem was that getting the coconut cream from the pulp was easier said than done. Don Ramon Lopez Irizarry set out to find an easier way of doing this. In his small laboratory in Puerto Rico, he developed the original Coco Lopez by blending the delicious cream from the hearts of Caribbean coconuts with the exact proportion of natural cane sugar. Suddenly Coco Lopez became the basis for a fabulous tropical drink called Pina Colada which made its first appearance in 1954. Quite a few bartenders & part-time mixers claim to be the inventors of the Official Beverage of Puerto Rico.
