Cockburn's
Anno Late Bottle Vintage
1998
The 1998 LBV shows good intensity and dark red depth of color. It has a clean, intense nose, overlaid with plum and red fruit aromas and notes of chocolate. This wine is big on the palate, with well-balanced acidity and tannins, has good body and volume with a long finish. It exhibits balanced fresh fruit and gripping tannin; the final impression is intense, silky and round. This wine pairs wonderfully with blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort or strong Portuguese cheeses such as St. Jorge (Azores) or Serpa (Alentejo). As an aperitif, enjoy with marcona almonds that are roasted with salt and olive oil, hazelnuts or chestnuts. Consider it with a good paté or jamón Ibérico (smoked ham) and for dessert with a chocolates tart or cake.
