Cockburn's Quinta dos Canais Vintage Port 2013 (750ml)

An opaque deep purple color. On the nose showing great purity of fruit, with excellent aromas of blueberries and some lifted citrus notes of bergamot. On the palate medium bodied with complex flavors of dark fruits, which favor elegance over power. A backbone of refreshing acidity gives balance and fine-grained polished tannins lead to a persistent and slightly drier finish of great finesse.

An excellent wine to enjoy on its own at the end of a meal or accompanied by dark chocolate desserts or blue cheese. Store the bottle horizontally, ideally in a cool place with a constant temperature. Decant before serving, preferably a few hours beforehand.

Quinta dos Canais is Cockburn’s home in the Douro. Laid out on a natural amphitheatre overlooking a bend in the river, this iconic estate has formed the backbone of Cockburn’s Vintage Ports since the late 19th Century. With its south-facing vineyards and large proportion of mature Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, the consistency of the wines from Quinta dos Canais is such that they form the principal component of Cockburn’s declared Vintage Ports. In the intervening years, the best wines from the estate are blended on their own and bottled as Quinta dos Canais Vintage Port.
