HoldWell stockedJancis Robinson MW 18/20
The 2016 Vintage Ports have finally hit the market. Cockburn is one of the great historic properties in the Douro Valley, and it is now part of the Symington portfolio (along with Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s, and more). The 2016 Cockburn is 62% Touriga Nacional, 21% Touriga Franca, 9% Sousão and 8% Alicante Bouschet, predominately hillside grapes from the family’s Quinta dos Canais vineyard, which has been the backbone of Cockburn Vintage Port for over 100 years.
