Cockburn's Quinta dos Canais 2014 Vintage Port

The Canais 2014 has an inky purple/black colour. It has the typical lifted floral aromas (violets, roses) of the Touriga Nacional, which makes up 70% of the wine. The wine is well structured with an excellent balance, underscored by the fresh acidity and the ‘grip’ provided by the peppery tannins. The contributions made by the late ripening Touriga Franca (which was much more successful at Canais than in most other parts of the Douro) and the Sousão, complement the Touriga Nacional very successfully, giving the wine a sense of balance and completeness.
