NV Cockburn Fine Ruby Port
Port Blend; Portugal; | $11.99 | |

"Laid-back, rather complex aromas of black raspberry, maple syrup and golden raisins seem midway between ruby and tawny. Smooth, nicely concentrated and rich; the maple syrup note repeats in the mouth but is complemented by fresh berry flavors. Finishes slightly fiery but long, with a suggestion of raisin." -- Steve Tanzer (87 points)
