Cockburns Vintage Porto - 2000 (750ml) Olson A whiff of chalk dustPotentially one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, this inky black purple colored 2000 exhibits notes of scorched earth, melted asphalt, blackberry liqueur, and a pungent, penetrating intensity that reverberates in the mouth as well as the head. Full bodied, massive, and concentrated, with a 45 second finish, this thrilling effort should drink well between 2010 2035. Robert Parker 95 points
