A little history:

Cockburn’s (Coh-burns) was founded in 1815 and has grown to become one of the world’s great port houses. Makers of a complete line of fine ports, including Cockburn’s Special Reserve – the world’s most popular premium port – Cockburn’s is known worldwide for its mature, less sweet wine style.

What sets Cockburn’s apart from all other port houses is a rigorous quality control standard exercised on all aspects of production. Being the largest vineyard owner in the Port district also gives Cockburn’s significant access to stocks of aged wines for its many fine blends. Cockburn’s family of ports includes Special Reserve, Vintage Port, Anno (Late Bottled Vintage) and Quinta dos Canais (Single Quinta Vintage), Fine Ruby, Fine Tawny, and 10- and 20-year-old Tawnies.

Cockburn’s Ports are some of the world’s best. What sets their wines apart is a careful quality control standard exercised on all aspects of production. Cockburn’s is the largest landowner in the celebrated “Douro Superior” region of the sweeping Douro River Valley of Portugal, where all authentic port is produced. This assures large resources of the finest wines for its blends.

My verdict:

Again, I am very new to enjoying port and cannot pull all these different flavors out of it right now.  All I can tell you is this….

This port is extremely smooth!  You almost think you are drinking grape juice with a twist.  I highly recommend this to anyone!
