As one of the most respected names in Port production, Cockburn’s 2000 Vintage Port is a prime example of the house’s commitment to quality and tradition. The 2000 vintage in the Douro Valley was marked by ideal conditions for ripening, resulting in a Port that’s deep, complex, and built to age.
On the nose, expect layers of dark fruit—blackberry, plum, and fig—accented by notes of chocolate, spice, and a subtle earthiness. The palate is full-bodied with firm, well-integrated tannins that give the wine its structure, balanced by vibrant acidity that ensures it will continue to evolve gracefully. The finish is long, lingering, and framed by the minerality that comes from the Douro’s schist soils.
With two decades of aging, this Vintage Port is now at a beautiful drinking window—complex and accessible, yet still with the potential to evolve for decades to come. Perfect for those who appreciate the deep concentration and layered complexity that Cockburn’s Ports are known for.
